  3. Barometric formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometric_formula

    = molar mass of Earth's air: 28.9644 lb/lb-mol; The value of subscript b ranges from 0 to 6 in accordance with each of seven successive layers of the atmosphere shown in the table below. In these equations, g 0, M and R * are each single-valued constants, while P, L, T, and h are

  4. Density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    Density (volumetric mass density or specific mass) is a substance's mass per unit of volume. The symbol most often used for density is ρ (the lower case Greek letter rho), although the Latin letter D can also be used. Mathematically, density is defined as mass divided by volume: [1] where ρ is the density, m is the mass, and V is the volume.

  5. Number density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_density

    Number density. The number density (symbol: n or ρN) is an intensive quantity used to describe the degree of concentration of countable objects (particles, molecules, phonons, cells, galaxies, etc.) in physical space: three-dimensional volumetric number density, two-dimensional areal number density, or one-dimensional linear number density.

  6. Relative density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_density

    Helium gas has a density of 0.164 g/L; [16] it is 0.139 times as dense as air, which has a density of 1.18 g/L. [16] Urine normally has a specific gravity between 1.003 and 1.030. The Urine Specific Gravity diagnostic test is used to evaluate renal concentration ability for assessment of the urinary system. [17]

  7. Kinetic theory of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory_of_gases

    Following the development of the Boltzmann equation, a framework for its use in developing transport equations was developed independently by David Enskog and Sydney Chapman in 1917 and 1916. The framework provided a route to prediction of the transport properties of dilute gases, and became known as Chapman–Enskog theory. The framework was ...

  8. Fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_dynamics

    In physics, physical chemistry and engineering, fluid dynamics is a subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that describes the flow of fluids — liquids and gases.It has several subdisciplines, including aerodynamics (the study of air and other gases in motion) and hydrodynamics (the study of liquids in motion).

  9. Vapour density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapour_density

    It may be defined as mass of a certain volume of a substance divided by mass of same volume of hydrogen. vapour density = mass of n molecules of gas / mass of n molecules of hydrogen gas . (and thus: molar mass = ~2 × vapour density) For example, vapour density of mixture of NO 2 and N 2 O 4 is 38.3. Vapour density is a dimensionless quantity.
