  2. Rüchardt experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rüchardt_Experiment

    The Rüchardt experiment, [1] [2] [3] invented by Eduard Rüchardt, is a famous experiment in thermodynamics, which determines the ratio of the molar heat capacities of a gas, i.e. the ratio of (heat capacity at constant pressure) and (heat capacity at constant volume) and is denoted by (gamma, for ideal gas) or (kappa, isentropic exponent, for real gas).

  3. Langmuir adsorption model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langmuir_adsorption_model

    An example plot of the surface coverage θ A = P/(P + P 0) with respect to the partial pressure of the adsorbate. P 0 = 100 mTorr. The graph shows levelling off of the surface coverage at pressures higher than P 0. =, The chemical potential of an ideal gas is

  4. Normal shock tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_shock_tables

    In aerodynamics, the normal shock tables are a series of tabulated data listing the various properties before and after the occurrence of a normal shock wave. [1] With a given upstream Mach number, the post-shock Mach number can be calculated along with the pressure, density, temperature, and stagnation pressure ratios.

  5. Phase diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram

    The pressure on a pressure-temperature diagram (such as the water phase diagram shown above) is the partial pressure of the substance in question. A phase diagram in physical chemistry , engineering , mineralogy , and materials science is a type of chart used to show conditions (pressure, temperature, etc.) at which thermodynamically distinct ...

  6. Isentropic nozzle flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_Nozzle_Flow

    When M e = 1, the condition of choked flow also occurs; but Eq indicates that the mass flux will continue to increase as p 0 is increased. This is the case when a gas line ruptures. Figure 2: The pressure variation in the nozzle. It is interesting that the exit pressure p e is able to be greater than the receiver pressure p r.

  7. Thermodynamic diagrams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_diagrams

    Consider a gas in cylinder with a free floating piston resting on top of a volume of gas V 1 at a temperature T 1. If the gas is heated so that the temperature of the gas goes up to T 2 while the piston is allowed to rise to V 2 as in Figure 1, then the pressure is kept the same in this process due to the free floating piston being allowed to ...

  8. 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 ...

  9. Relations between heat capacities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relations_between_heat...

    This is a derivation to obtain an expression for for an ideal gas. An ideal gas has the equation of state: = where P = pressure V = volume n = number of moles R = universal gas constant T = temperature. The ideal gas equation of state can be arranged to give:
