# Second order differential equation, with term from previous numerical solution

I have a second order differential equation, in terms of a term that was previously obtained from numerically solving another equation.

Numerical solution of equation before 2nd order equation:

Rgas = Rationalize[8.314]; (* gas constant *)
acoef[tc_, pc_] := (27*Rgas^2*tc^2)/(64*pc);
bcoef[tc_, pc_] := (Rgas*tc)/(8*pc);
Clear[p, t];
latentK = 76.9*10^3*39*1.67*10^-27*6.022*10^23;
tcK = 2223; (* Kelvin *)
pcK = 16*10^6; (*Pa *)

eqn = (p - Rgas*t)*v^3 - bcoef[tcK, pcK]*p*v^2 + acoef[tcK, pcK]*v - acoef[tcK, pcK]*bcoef[tcK, pcK];
asolns = Solve[eqn == 0, v] ;
(eqn /. asolns)[[1]] ;
realroot = v /. asolns[[1]];


And now, my 2nd order differential equation, in terms of realroot, which is a function of p(t) an t:

NDSolve[p''[t] == latentK/(t*realroot), p[t], t]


But this is not working. I guess one of the problems is that realroot is not defined to be a function of p(t) and t...

Two issues need to be addressed. First, boundary conditions need to be specified for NDSolve. Second, p needs to be replaced by p[t] in realroot. In the absence of boundary conditions specified in the Question, I have provide some sample expressions.
s = NDSolve[{p''[t] == latentK/(t*realroot /. p -> p[t]), p[1] == 1,

• @SuperCiocia In response to your comment, now deleted, Plot[Re[p[t]] /. First@s, {t, 273, 293}] will provide a curve, as will Plot[Im[p[t]] /. First@s, {t, 273, 293}], but the results suggests an error in your equations. – bbgodfrey Nov 23 '15 at 21:20
