Abstract
This write-up enumerates the basic cubic equations of state used for pressure, volume and temperature determination for pure substances. It, however, focuses on developing a Dev C++ program for molar volume computation. Since molar volume in all cubic equations of state appears unsolvable due to their nonlinear nature, numerical solution methods, one of which is the Newton-Raphson method, can be utilized to estimate the root of such polynomial equations. The 257 lines of code running from Figure 1 to Figure 6, if executed, will return the molar volume to some certain iteration over a tolerance error specified. The program is a 4-in-1 calculator. The user is capable of working with a desired equation of state at a time. Users should note that the source code converges for either large or small errors specified.
