  3. Methane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane

    Methane is an important greenhouse gas, responsible for around 30% of the rise in global temperatures since the industrial revolution. [58] Methane has a global warming potential (GWP) of 29.8 ± 11 compared to CO 2 (potential of 1) over a 100-year period, and 82.5 ± 25.8 over a 20-year period. [59]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_thermodynamic...

    In thermodynamics, a physical property is any property that is measurable, and whose value describes a state of a physical system. Thermodynamic properties are defined as characteristic features of a system, capable of specifying the system's state.

  5. Critical point (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_point...

    In the vicinity of the critical point, the physical properties of the liquid and the vapor change dramatically, with both phases becoming even more similar. For instance, liquid water under normal conditions is nearly incompressible, has a low thermal expansion coefficient, has a high dielectric constant , and is an excellent solvent for ...

  6. 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.

  7. Ideal gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas

    This is an important step since, according to the theory of thermodynamic potentials, if we can express the entropy as a function of U (U is a thermodynamic potential), volume V and the number of particles N, then we will have a complete statement of the thermodynamic behavior of the ideal gas. We will be able to derive both the ideal gas law ...

  8. Heat capacity ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity_ratio

    In thermodynamic terms, this is a consequence of the fact that the internal pressure of an ideal gas vanishes. Mayer's relation allows us to deduce the value of C V from the more easily measured (and more commonly tabulated) value of C P : C V = C P − n R . {\displaystyle C_{V}=C_{P}-nR.}
