Generalized pressure-volume equations mimicking the Stacey reciprocal K-primed equation of state

Two generalized polynomial expressions, one based on a logarithmic form and the other on an exponential form have been set up that give pressure-volume (P-V) relationship and higher derivative properties mimicking the Stacey reciprocal K-primed equation of state. The results have been obtained for pressure P, bulk modulus K and its pressure derivative K′ for six metals viz. Ag, Al, Au, Cu, Mo and W at different values of compression down to V/V0=0.5. The zero-pressure values of input parameters K0 and K0′ have been taken from the literature, whereas K∞′ and K0K0″ have been fixed to match the Stacey reciprocal K-primed equation. The polynomial equations thus formulated can be used as a substitute for the Stacey equations of state (EOS) for determining P-V relationship and higher derivative properties such as K and K′.
