  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 concept is useful because it obeys the ideal gas law, a simplified equation of state, and is amenable to analysis under statistical mechanics. The requirement of zero interaction can often be relaxed if, for example, the interaction is perfectly elastic or regarded as point-like collisions.

  4. 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.

  5. Gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas

    For an ideal gas, the ideal gas law applies without restrictions on the specific heat. An ideal gas is a simplified "real gas" with the assumption that the compressibility factor Z is set to 1 meaning that this pneumatic ratio remains constant. A compressibility factor of one also requires the four state variables to follow the ideal gas law.

  6. Isothermal process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isothermal_process

    For the special case of a gas to which Boyle's law [4] applies, the product pV (p for gas pressure and V for gas volume) is a constant if the gas is kept at isothermal conditions. The value of the constant is nRT, where n is the number of moles of the present gas and R is the ideal gas constant. In other words, the ideal gas law pV = nRT ...

  7. Equation of state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_state

    An example of an equation of state correlates densities of gases and liquids to temperatures and pressures, known as the ideal gas law, which is roughly accurate for weakly polar gases at low pressures and moderate temperatures. This equation becomes increasingly inaccurate at higher pressures and lower temperatures, and fails to predict ...

  8. Euler equations (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_equations_(fluid...

    The ideal gas law can be recast into the formula: p ρ = T m {\displaystyle {\frac {p}{\rho }}={\frac {T}{m}}} By substituting this ratio in the Newton–Laplace law, the expression of the sound speed into an ideal gas as function of temperature is finally achieved.

  9. Avogadro's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro's_Law

    The law is a specific case of the ideal gas law. A modern statement is: Avogadro's law states that "equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules." [1] For a given mass of an ideal gas, the volume and amount (moles) of the gas are directly proportional if the temperature and pressure are ...
