  2. Real gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_gas

    Real gases are non-ideal gases whose molecules occupy space and have interactions; consequently, they do not adhere to the ideal gas law. To understand the behaviour of real gases, the following must be taken into account: compressibility effects; variable specific heat capacity; van der Waals forces; non-equilibrium thermodynamic effects;

  3. Compressibility factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility_factor

    For a gas that is a mixture of two or more pure gases (air or natural gas, for example), the gas composition must be known before compressibility can be calculated. Alternatively, the compressibility factor for specific gases can be read from generalized compressibility charts [ 1 ] that plot Z {\displaystyle Z} as a function of pressure at ...

  4. Non ideal compressible fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non_ideal_compressible...

    This is extremely valid for gases made of complex and heavy molecules, which tend to deviate more from the ideal model. [ 5 ] While the fluid dynamics of compressible flows in ideal conditions is well-established and is characterized by several analytical results, [ 6 ] when non-ideal thermodynamic conditions are considered, peculiar phenomena ...

  5. Compressibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility

    The ideal gas (where the particles do not interact with each other) is an abstraction. The particles in real materials interact with each other. Then, the relation between the pressure, density and temperature is known as the equation of state denoted by some function F {\displaystyle F} .

  6. Heat capacity ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity_ratio

    For example, terrestrial air is primarily made up of diatomic gases (around 78% nitrogen, N 2, and 21% oxygen, O 2), and at standard conditions it can be considered to be an ideal gas. The above value of 1.4 is highly consistent with the measured adiabatic indices for dry air within a temperature range of 0–200 °C, exhibiting a deviation of ...

  7. Viscosity models for mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_models_for_mixtures

    The dilute gas viscosity contribution to the total viscosity of a fluid will only be important when predicting the viscosity of vapors at low pressures or the viscosity of dense fluids at high temperatures. The viscosity model for dilute gas, that is shown above, is widely used throughout the industry and applied science communities.

  8. Joule–Thomson effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule–Thomson_effect

    In thermodynamics, the Joule–Thomson effect (also known as the Joule–Kelvin effect or Kelvin–Joule effect) describes the temperature change of a real gas or liquid (as differentiated from an ideal gas) when it is expanding; typically caused by the pressure loss from flow through a valve or porous plug while keeping it insulated so that no heat is exchanged with the environment.

  9. Gas constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_constant

    The gas constant occurs in the ideal gas law: = = where P is the absolute pressure, V is the volume of gas, n is the amount of substance, m is the mass, and T is the thermodynamic temperature. R specific is the mass-specific gas constant. The gas constant is expressed in the same unit as molar heat.
