Source for volume-explicit form of cubic equation of state?

Source for volume-explicit form of cubic equation of state?

Source for volume-explicit form of cubic equation of state?

(OP)
Surely someone out there has gone through the algebra required to yield a volume-explicit form of a cubic equation of state. That is, I'm looking for a form using T and P as independent variables as an alternative to the commonly-seen pressure-explicit form that uses T and V as independent variables. I figured there's no point in working through the math if it's already done (at age 61, I'd like to know where to look up something as a first step).

If someone knows of a reliable source for this form of the classic cubic EoS in the literature, would they please post the citation? Thanks very much.

RE: Source for volume-explicit form of cubic equation of state?

Sherwood, Reid, and Prausnitz 3rd Ed. The Properties of Gases and Liquids. On page 38 they show it for Redlich-Kwong EOS which is cubic in V or Z. There may be other examples.

Good luck,

I knew I'd seen it some place familiar! Thanks very much. (By the way, not knowing how soon someone might have the answer, I continued to do some looking elsewhere and found a copy of a thesis on line that presents both the Redlich-Kwong and van der Waals EoS in volume-explicit form.)

The key here (for my purposes) is the format: given the examples it should be fairly easy--I hope--to cast other cubic EoS in a volume explicit form.
