If I change the definition of compressibility factor of one mole of a real gas to where
p designates the corrected pressure according to Van der waal's equation
v designates the corrected volume according to Van der waal's equation
So the question is what is the value of the new compressibility factor at critical conditions?
Details and Assumptions
The compressibility factor for one mole of a real gas at critical conditions is is .
If Pressure at critical conditions is
If Volume at critical conditions if 3b
If Temperature at critical conditions is
Here R is the gas constant and a and b are Van der waal's constants.

corrected pressure is p'=(P-a/(v^2))...and corrected volume is v'=(V-b).....so the new compressibility factor is p'v'/RT=1 .
