  2. Azide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azide

    In chemistry, azide (/ ˈ eɪ z aɪ d /, AY-zyd) is a linear, polyatomic anion with the formula N − 3 and structure − N=N + =N −. It is the conjugate base of hydrazoic acid HN 3. Organic azides are organic compounds with the formula RN 3, containing the azide functional group. [1] The dominant application of azides is as a propellant in ...

  3. Partial pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_pressure

    The atmospheric pressure is roughly equal to the sum of partial pressures of constituent gases – oxygen, nitrogen, argon, water vapor, carbon dioxide, etc.. In a mixture of gases, each constituent gas has a partial pressure which is the notional pressure of that constituent gas as if it alone occupied the entire volume of the original mixture at the same temperature. [1]

  4. Stagnation pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagnation_Pressure

    In fluid dynamics, stagnation pressure, also referred to as total pressure, is what the pressure would be if all the kinetic energy of the fluid were to be converted into pressure in a reversable manner. [1]: § 3.2 ; it is defined as the sum of the free-stream static pressure and the free-stream dynamic pressure. [2]

  5. Dalton's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalton's_law

    An illustration of Dalton's law using the gases of air at sea level. Dalton's law (also called Dalton's law of partial pressures) states that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. [1]

  6. Liquid nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_nitrogen

    The diatomic character of the N 2 molecule is retained after liquefaction. The weak van der Waals interaction between the N 2 molecules results in little interatomic attraction. This is the cause of nitrogen's unusually low boiling point. [1]

  7. Solid nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_nitrogen

    The decomposition of hydrazinium azide at high pressure and low temperature produces a molecular solid made of linear chains of 8 nitrogen atoms (NN + −N − −N=NN − −N + ≡N). Simulations suggest that N 8 is stable at low temperatures and pressures (< 20 GPa); in practice, the reported N 8 decomposes to the ε allotrope below 25 ...

  8. Raoult's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raoult's_law

    Raoult's law (/ ˈ r ɑː uː l z / law) is a relation of physical chemistry, with implications in thermodynamics.Proposed by French chemist François-Marie Raoult in 1887, [1] [2] it states that the partial pressure of each component of an ideal mixture of liquids is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure component (liquid or solid) multiplied by its mole fraction in the mixture.

  9. Dynamic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_pressure

    q is the dynamic pressure in pascals (i.e., N/m 2, ρ (Greek letter rho) is the fluid mass density (e.g. in kg/m 3), and; u is the flow speed in m/s. It can be thought of as the fluid's kinetic energy per unit volume. For incompressible flow, the dynamic pressure of a fluid is the difference between its total pressure and static pressure.
