Carnahan–Starling–van der Waals

This is a noncubic EOS consisting of a Carnahan–Starling repulsion and a van der Waals attraction term. The critical compression factor Z_c is fixed (0.359), which means that this EOS cannot match all 3 critical conditions simultaneously.

adjustable parameters: 2

For mixture calculations the following mixing theories are available:

• 1F: van der Waals 1-fluid mixing theory for the attraction term, Leland–Mansoori hard-sphere mixture model for the repulsion term
