  2. Methane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane

    Compared to liquid hydrogen, the specific energy of methane is lower but this disadvantage is offset by methane's greater density and temperature range, allowing for smaller and lighter tankage for a given fuel mass. Liquid methane has a temperature range (91–112 K) nearly compatible with liquid oxygen (54–90 K).

  3. Molar volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_volume

    The interest stems from that accurate measurements of the unit cell volume, atomic weight and mass density of a pure crystalline solid provide a direct determination of the Avogadro constant. [ 3 ] The CODATA recommended value for the molar volume of silicon is 1.205 883 199 (60) × 10 −5 m 3 ⋅mol −1 , with a relative standard uncertainty ...

  4. Atmospheric methane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_methane

    Methane oxidation allows methanotrophic bacteria to use methane as a source of energy, reacting methane with oxygen and as a result producing carbon dioxide and water. CH 4 + 2O 2 → CO 2 + 2H 2 O Forest soils act as good sinks for atmospheric methane because soils are optimally moist for methanotroph activity, and the movement of gases ...

  5. Lifting gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_gas

    The amount of mass that can be lifted by hydrogen in air per unit volume at sea level, equal to the density difference between hydrogen and air, is: (1.292 - 0.090) kg/m 3 = 1.202 kg/m 3. and the buoyant force for one m 3 of hydrogen in air at sea level is: 1 m 3 × 1.202 kg/m 3 × 9.8 N/kg= 11.8 N. The amount of mass that can be lifted by ...

  6. Useful conversions and formulas for air dispersion modeling

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_conversions_and...

    0.1 × ( 12 ÷ 8 ) = 0.15 grain per dscf when corrected to a gas having a specified reference CO 2 content of 12 volume %. Notes: Although ppmv and grains per dscf have been used in the above examples, concentrations such as ppbv (i.e., parts per billion by volume), volume percent, grams per dscm and many others may also be used.

  7. Gas composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_composition

    ISO TR 29922-2017 provides a definition for standard dry air which specifies an air molar mass of 28,965 46 ± 0,000 17 kg·kmol-1. [2] GPA 2145:2009 is published by the Gas Processors Association. It provides a molar mass for air of 28.9625 g/mol, and provides a composition for standard dry air as a footnote. [3]

  8. Compressibility factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility_factor

    Once all the gas has been converted to liquid, the volume decreases only slightly with further increases in pressure; then Z is very nearly proportional to pressure. As temperature and pressure increase along the coexistence curve, the gas becomes more like a liquid and the liquid becomes more like a gas. At the critical point, the two are the ...

  9. Specific volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_volume

    If the size of the chamber remains constant and some atoms are removed, the density decreases and the specific volume increases. Specific volume is a property of materials, defined as the number of cubic meters occupied by one kilogram of a particular substance. The standard unit is the meter cubed per kilogram (m 3 /kg or m 3 ·kg −1).
