  2. 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.

  4. Theorem of corresponding states - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theorem_of_corresponding...

    According to van der Waals, the theorem of corresponding states (or principle/law of corresponding states) indicates that all fluids, when compared at the same reduced temperature and reduced pressure, have approximately the same compressibility factor and all deviate from ideal gas behavior to about the same degree.

    compressibility effects; variable specific heat capacity; van der Waals forces; non-equilibrium thermodynamic effects; issues with molecular dissociation and elementary reactions with variable composition; For most applications, such a detailed analysis is unnecessary, and the ideal gas approximation can be used with reasonable accuracy.

  6. Compressibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility

    The compressibility factor is defined as = where p is the pressure of the gas, T is its temperature, and is its molar volume, all measured independently of one another. In the case of an ideal gas, the compressibility factor Z is equal to unity, and the familiar ideal gas law is recovered:

  7. Gas exchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_exchange

    Gas exchange in plants is dominated by the roles of carbon dioxide, oxygen and water vapor. CO 2 is the only carbon source for autotrophic growth by photosynthesis, and when a plant is actively photosynthesising in the light, it will be taking up carbon dioxide, and losing water vapor and oxygen.

  8. Lung volumes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_volumes

    When someone living at or near sea level travels to locations at high altitudes (e.g. the Andes; Denver, Colorado; Tibet; the Himalayas) that person can develop a condition called altitude sickness because their lungs remove adequate amounts of carbon dioxide but they do not take in enough oxygen. (In normal individuals, carbon dioxide is the ...

  9. Liquefaction of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefaction_of_gases

    Many gases can be put into a liquid state at normal atmospheric pressure by simple cooling; a few, such as carbon dioxide, require pressurization as well. Liquefaction is used for analyzing the fundamental properties of gas molecules (intermolecular forces), or for the storage of gases, for example: LPG , and in refrigeration and air conditioning .
