Dear all,
I need to solve the following equation:

and the equation that coorelates by the following equation( the term 5 was ignored):

and the variables b, A, B, C, k, Tc can be founded in this table:

As the variavle V can not be isolated, we should solve it implicit. I am trying witht he following code:
Tc = 367.85;
Pc = 3374.84;
R = 7.290839*10.^-2;
b = 3.973395*10.^-4;
k = 5.033;
A2 = -0.1398755;
A3 = 4.031561*10^-4;
A4 = -1.508838*10.^-7;
B2 = 1.677524*10.^-4;
B3 = -6.739375*10.^-7;
B4 = 0;
C2 = -1.518125;
C3 = 5.521381*10^-5;
C4 = 0;
Vapor_pressure_ref = 100
syms F P V T
F = -P + ((R*T)/(V-b)) + (((A2) + (B2*T) + (C2*exp(-k*T/Tc)))/(V-b)^2) + (((A3) + (B3*T) + (C3*exp(-k*T/Tc)))/(V-b).^3) + (((A4) + (B4*T) + (C4*exp(-k*T/Tc)))/(V-b).^4);
dV_dT = - diff(F,T)/diff(F,V)
Eq = (V - (dV_dT*T))
int(Eq,P,Vapor_pressure_ref,1)
However,the output is:
-(17211847986098922057056496272843303410021431145154622943954950247403281191336156397430653844910382510721336111875*exp(3956657/1051000) + 171221942040754850037313460159985281792124894590638846549063088630653073472919905693201072792645916265515881332736)/(1065840624671895280778428055080140800000*(64450689896085148577946341147025193190720307559496600271150138269013626089*exp(3956657/1051000) + 236272089264744816453435291457063368284234553216075863541003706881470889984))

"T must be prescribed"
Correct. OP forgets to tell us.

D=1/(V-b) is a root of fifth order polynomial, where the coefficients depend on P, T, etc...
It looks like it is small non-linear correction of the linear equation.
P = RT*D
I assume the equation has single real root in the range you consider, so actually it is not really an implicit equation, it is explicit equation if you write it as root of the polynomial.
It seems int is smart enough to figure this fact out, and able to gie back the expression you look for.
