  2. Ideal gas law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law

    Isotherms of an ideal gas for different temperatures. The curved lines are rectangular hyperbolae of the form y = a/x. They represent the relationship between pressure (on the vertical axis) and volume (on the horizontal axis) for an ideal gas at different temperatures: lines that are farther away from the origin (that is, lines that are nearer to the top right-hand corner of the diagram ...

  3. Ideal gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas

    The ideal gas law is the equation of state for an ideal gas, given by: = where P is the pressure; V is the volume; n is the amount of substance of the gas (in moles) T is the absolute temperature; R is the gas constant, which must be expressed in units consistent with those chosen for pressure, volume and temperature.

  4. Enthalpy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy

    Enthalpy (/ ˈ ɛ n θ əl p i / ⓘ) is the sum of a thermodynamic system's internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume. [1] It is a state function in thermodynamics used in many measurements in chemical, biological, and physical systems at a constant external pressure, which is conveniently provided by the large ambient atmosphere.

  6. Isentropic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_process

    So for an ideal gas, the heat capacity ratio can be written as = = / /. For a calorically perfect gas is constant. Hence on integrating the above equation, assuming a calorically perfect gas, we get =, that is,

  7. Internal energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_energy

    where is the isochoric (at constant volume) molar heat capacity of the gas; is constant for an ideal gas. The internal energy of any gas (ideal or not) may be written as a function of the three extensive properties S {\displaystyle S} , V {\displaystyle V} , N {\displaystyle N} (entropy, volume, number of moles ).

  8. Fundamental thermodynamic relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_thermodynamic...

    The first law of thermodynamics is essentially a definition of heat, i.e. heat is the change in the internal energy of a system that is not caused by a change of the external parameters of the system. However, the second law of thermodynamics is not a defining relation for the entropy.

  9. Gas laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_laws

    The basic gas laws were discovered by the end of the 18th century when scientists found out that relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would hold to approximation for all gases. The combination of several empirical gas laws led to the development of the ideal gas law.
