  2. Reference atmospheric model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_atmospheric_model

    The gas which comprises an atmosphere is usually assumed to be an ideal gas, which is to say: = Where ρ is mass density, M is average molecular weight, P is pressure, T is temperature, and R is the ideal gas constant. The gas is held in place by so-called "hydrostatic" forces. That is to say, for a particular layer of gas at some altitude: the ...

  3. Density of air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_of_air

    To calculate the density of air as a function of altitude, one requires additional parameters. For the troposphere, the lowest part (~10 km) of the atmosphere, they are listed below, along with their values according to the International Standard Atmosphere , using for calculation the universal gas constant instead of the air specific constant:

  4. Molar volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_volume

    The ideal gas equation can be rearranged to give an expression for the molar volume of an ideal gas: = = Hence, for a given temperature and pressure, the molar volume is the same for all ideal gases and is based on the gas constant: R = 8.314 462 618 153 24 m 3 ⋅Pa⋅K −1 ⋅mol −1, or about 8.205 736 608 095 96 × 10 −5 m 3 ⋅atm⋅K ...

  5. Specific volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_volume

    For a substance X with a specific volume of 0.657 cm 3 /g and a substance Y with a specific volume 0.374 cm 3 /g, the density of each substance can be found by taking the inverse of the specific volume; therefore, substance X has a density of 1.522 g/cm 3 and substance Y has a density of 2.673 g/cm 3. With this information, the specific ...

  6. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    In it he derived the relation = (/) ¯ / for the pressure in a gas, composed of particles in motion, with number density ⁠ / ⁠, mass ⁠ ⁠, and mean square speed ⁠ ¯ ⁠. He then noted that using the classical laws of Boyle and Charles, one could write m c 2 ¯ / 3 = k T {\displaystyle m{\overline {c^{2}}}/3=kT} with a constant of ...

  7. Heat capacity ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity_ratio

    In gas dynamics we are interested in the local relations between pressure, density and temperature, rather than considering a fixed quantity of gas. By considering the density ρ = M / V {\displaystyle \rho =M/V} as the inverse of the volume for a unit mass, we can take ρ = 1 / V {\displaystyle \rho =1/V} in these relations.

  8. Mean inter-particle distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_inter-particle_distance

    PDF of the NN distances in an ideal gas. We want to calculate probability distribution function of distance to the nearest neighbor (NN) particle. (The problem was first considered by Paul Hertz; [1] for a modern derivation see, e.g.,. [2])

  9. Gas composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_composition

    Standard Dry Air is the agreed-upon gas composition for air from which all water vapour has been removed. There are various standards bodies which publish documents that define a dry air gas composition. Each standard provides a list of constituent concentrations, a gas density at standard conditions and a molar mass.
