On the generalized enthalpy departure chart, the normalized enthalpy departure values seem to approach zero as the reduced pressure $P_{R}$ approaches zero. How do you explain this behavior?

Step 1
This is because at low pressures, the intermolecular forces between gas molecules become negligible compared to the kinetic energy of the molecules. ** Show more…
