  2. Rankine scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_scale

    The symbol for degrees Rankine is °R [2] (or °Ra if necessary to distinguish it from the Rømer and Réaumur scales). By analogy with the SI unit kelvin, some authors term the unit Rankine, omitting the degree symbol. [4] [5] Some temperatures relating the Rankine scale to other temperature scales are shown in the table below.

  3. Ideal gas law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law

    The state of an amount of gas is determined by its pressure, volume, and temperature. The modern form of the equation relates these simply in two main forms. The temperature used in the equation of state is an absolute temperature: the appropriate SI unit is the kelvin. [4]

  4. Reduced properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_properties

    The reduced temperature of a fluid is its actual temperature, divided by its critical temperature: [1] = where the actual temperature and critical temperature are expressed in absolute temperature scales (either Kelvin or Rankine). Both the reduced temperature and the reduced pressure are often used in thermodynamical formulas like the Peng ...

  5. Rankine theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_theory

    Rankine's theory (maximum-normal stress theory), developed in 1857 by William John Macquorn Rankine, [1] is a stress field solution that predicts active and passive earth pressure. It assumes that the soil is cohesionless, the wall is frictionless, the soil-wall interface is vertical, the failure surface on which the soil moves is planar , and ...

  6. Standard temperature and pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_temperature_and...

    This standard is also called normal temperature and pressure (abbreviated as NTP). However, a common temperature and pressure in use by NIST for thermodynamic experiments is 298.15 K (25 °C, 77 °F) and 1 bar (14.5038 psi , 100 kPa ).

  7. Thermal equation of state of solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_equation_of_state...

    At ambient pressure, P=0 GPA is known, so, the volume, pressure, and temperature are all given. Then, authors [9] predict the pressure value from the given (V, T) from pressure-dependent thermal expansion equation of state. The predicted pressures match with the known experimental value of 0 GPa, see in Figure 2.

  8. Gas laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_laws

    The laws describing the behaviour of gases under fixed pressure, volume, amount of gas, and absolute temperature conditions are called 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.

  9. Ideal gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas

    L (exact value based on 2019 revision of the SI) [3] at standard temperature and pressure (a temperature of 273.15 K and an absolute pressure of exactly 10 5 Pa). [note 1] The ideal gas model tends to fail at lower temperatures or higher pressures, when intermolecular forces and molecular size becomes important.
