parameter measuring how far a fluid's reduced vapor pressure departs from that of simple spherical molecules, used as a third corresponding-states parameter.

In chemical engineering thermodynamics, acentric factor refers to parameter measuring how far a fluid's reduced vapor pressure departs from that of simple spherical molecules, used as a third corresponding-states parameter. This meaning comes from Pitzer (1955) in Journal of the American Chemical Society.[1]
