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

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.

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.
