  2. Gas constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_constant

    The molar gas constant (also known as the gas constant, universal gas constant, or ideal gas constant) is denoted by the symbol R or R. It is the molar equivalent to the Boltzmann constant , expressed in units of energy per temperature increment per amount of substance , rather than energy per temperature increment per particle .

  3. Compressibility factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility_factor

    For a gas that is a mixture of two or more pure gases (air or natural gas, for example), the gas composition must be known before compressibility can be calculated. Alternatively, the compressibility factor for specific gases can be read from generalized compressibility charts [ 1 ] that plot Z {\displaystyle Z} as a function of pressure at ...

  4. Compressibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility

    Since this occurs dynamically as air flows over the aerospace object, it is convenient to alter the compressibility factor Z, defined for an initial 30 gram moles of air, rather than track the varying mean molecular weight, millisecond by millisecond. This pressure dependent transition occurs for atmospheric oxygen in the 2,500–4,000 K ...

    An aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in air or another gas. [1] ... have diameters typically less than 1 ... ideal gas constant, ...

  6. Real gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_gas

    Critical isotherm for Redlich-Kwong model in comparison to van-der-Waals model and ideal gas (with V 0 =RT c /p c) The Redlich–Kwong equation is another two-parameter equation that is used to model real gases. It is almost always more accurate than the van der Waals equation, and often more accurate than some equations with more than two ...

  7. Polytropic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytropic_process

    Under the assumption of ideal gas law, heat and work flows go in the same direction (K < 0), such as in an internal combustion engine during the power stroke, where heat is lost from the hot combustion products, through the cylinder walls, to the cooler surroundings, at the same time as those hot combustion products push on the piston.

  8. Fugacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugacity

    For an ideal gas the equation of state can be written as =, where R is the ideal gas constant.The differential change of the chemical potential between two states of slightly different pressures but equal temperature (i.e., dT = 0) is given by = = = ⁡, where ln p is the natural logarithm of p.

  9. Ideal gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas

    At high pressures, the volume of a real gas is often considerably larger than that of an ideal gas. At low temperatures, the pressure of a real gas is often considerably less than that of an ideal gas. At some point of low temperature and high pressure, real gases undergo a phase transition, such as to a liquid or a solid. The model of an ideal ...
