A well-calibrated model predicts volumetric efficiency within ±2% and power within ±3%.

For many gases (especially refrigerants like R134a or hydrocarbons), ideal gas law fails. A real gas equation like or NIST REFPROP correlations is used:

$$\eta_v = \frac\dotV \textactual\dotV \texttheoretical$$
