Boyle and inversion temperature
« on: October 22, 2012, 05:49:24 PM »
Hello, If Tb is the boyle temperature and Ti is the inversion temperature, is it true that 2TbTi=1?

Thank you but I am surprised Atkins doesn't mention it.
Now, my relation is actually wrong.
It should be T_i=2T_b because T_b=a/Rb and T_i=2a/Rb where a, b are vanderwall constants.

Well, this isn't an oft-used relation and then again Atkins is a fairly broad book but not encyclopedic.
