Lydrson and coworkers developed a general method for estimation of liquid volume based on the principles of corresponding state

is density at critical point.

The generalized correlation is shown by below figure ,This figure may be used directly with Eq. (1) for determination of liquid volumes if the value of the critical volume is known.

A better procedure is to make use of a single known liquid volume (state 1) by the identity,
