The 1D formulation is based on the isothermal compressibility module and on the thermal expansion coefficient in order to be applicable for both gas and liquid as pure substances. It is emphasized on the simple methodology description, which establishes a relationship between the formulation adopted for ideal gas and another considering real gas effects. A computational procedure has been developed, which can be used to determine the flow properties in duct with a variable area, where real gas behavior is significant. In order to obtain quantitative results, three virial coefficients for Helium equation of state are employed to determine the percentage difference in pressure and entropy obtained from different formulations. Results are presented graphically in the form of real gas correction factors, which can be applied to perfect gas calculations.29-40engEntropyIsothermal flowPetroleum engineeringReal gasComputational proceduresCorrection factorsEntropy variationEquation of stateFlow propertiesIdeal gasIsothermal compressibilityIsothermal fluid flowPerfect gasPressure lossPure substancesQuantitative resultReal gas effectsThermal expansion coefficientsVariable areaVirial coefficientEquations of stateFlow of fluidsHeliumProfessional aspectsReal variablesThermal expansionTransport propertiesGasesArtigo10.5028/jatm.2011.03019210Acesso aberto2-s2.0-799559335122-s2.0-79955933512.pdf
