  2. 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Ideal gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas

    The ideal gas law is the equation of state for an ideal gas, given by: = where P is the pressure; V is the volume; n is the amount of substance of the gas (in moles) T is the absolute temperature; R is the gas constant, which must be expressed in units consistent with those chosen for pressure, volume and temperature.

  5. Gas constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_constant

    The molar gas constant (also known as the gas constant, universal gas constant, or ideal gas constant) is denoted by the symbol R or R. It is the molar equivalent to the Boltzmann constant , expressed in units of energy per temperature increment per amount of substance , rather than energy per temperature increment per particle .

  6. Gas laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_laws

    where P is the pressure, V is the volume, N is the number of gas molecules, k B is the Boltzmann constant (1.381×10 −23 J·K −1 in SI units) and T is the absolute temperature. These equations are exact only for an ideal gas, which neglects various intermolecular effects (see real gas). However, the ideal gas law is a good approximation for ...

  7. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_equation

    The surface calculated from the ideal gas equation of state is drawn in Fig. A. This universal (all ideal gases are represented by it) surface is normalized so that the black dot, with coordinates ,,, appears at the location (1,1,1) of the 3 dimensional plot space. This device makes it easy to compare this surface with the one generated by the ...

  8. Equation of state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_state

    At present, there is no single equation of state that accurately predicts the properties of all substances under all conditions. An example of an equation of state correlates densities of gases and liquids to temperatures and pressures, known as the ideal gas law, which is roughly accurate for weakly polar gases at low pressures and moderate temperatures.

  9. Cauchy number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy_number

    R = characteristic gas constant, (SI units: J/(kg K) ) T = temperature, (SI units: K) Substituting K (K s) in the equation for Ca yields = =. Thus, the Cauchy number is square of the Mach number for isentropic flow of a perfect gas.
