  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. Thermodynamic diagrams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_diagrams

    The main feature of thermodynamic diagrams is the equivalence between the area in the diagram and energy. When air changes pressure and temperature during a process and prescribes a closed curve within the diagram the area enclosed by this curve is proportional to the energy which has been gained or released by the air.

  4. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_equation

    Once the constants and are experimentally determined for a given substance, the van der Waals equation can be used to predict attributes like the boiling point at any given pressure, and the critical point (defined by pressure and temperature such that the substance cannot be liquefied either when > no matter how low the temperature, or when ...

  5. Fundamental thermodynamic relation - Wikipedia

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

    The probability density function is proportional to some function of the ensemble parameters and random variables. Thermodynamic state functions are described by ensemble averages of random variables. The entropy as defined by Gibbs entropy formula matches with the entropy as defined in classical thermodynamics.

  6. Bulk modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_modulus

    where is the initial density and / denotes the derivative of pressure with respect to density. The inverse of the bulk modulus gives a substance's compressibility . Generally the bulk modulus is defined at constant temperature as the isothermal bulk modulus, but can also be defined at constant entropy as the adiabatic bulk modulus.

  7. Compressibility factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility_factor

    Once two of the three reduced properties are found, the compressibility chart can be used. In a compressibility chart, reduced pressure is on the x-axis and Z is on the y-axis. When given the reduced pressure and temperature, find the given pressure on the x-axis. From there, move up on the chart until the given reduced temperature is found.

  8. Packaging waste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packaging_waste

    The current location with the greatest amount of solid waste that includes most of packaging products is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch located at West Coast of North America to Japan. [4] [6] Most packaging waste that eventually goes into the ocean often comes from places such as lakes, streams, and sewage.

  9. International Standard Atmosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard...

    The U.S. Standard Atmosphere is a set of models that define values for atmospheric temperature, density, pressure and other properties over a wide range of altitudes. The first model, based on an existing international standard, was published in 1958 by the U.S. Committee on Extension to the Standard Atmosphere, [ 9 ] and was updated in 1962 ...
