  2. 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 .

  3. Heat capacity ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity_ratio

    The classical equipartition theorem predicts that the heat capacity ratio (γ) for an ideal gas can be related to the thermally accessible degrees of freedom (f) of a molecule by = +, =. Thus we observe that for a monatomic gas, with 3 translational degrees of freedom per atom: γ = 5 3 = 1.6666 … , {\displaystyle \gamma ={\frac {5}{3}}=1. ...

  4. Fermi gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_gas

    A Fermi gas is an idealized model, an ensemble of many non-interacting fermions.Fermions are particles that obey Fermi–Dirac statistics, like electrons, protons, and neutrons, and, in general, particles with half-integer spin.

  5. Gas in a box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_in_a_box

    The most common massless Bose gas is a photon gas in a black body. Taking the "box" to be a black body cavity, the photons are continually being absorbed and re-emitted by the walls. Taking the "box" to be a black body cavity, the photons are continually being absorbed and re-emitted by the walls.

  6. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_equation

    Figs. B and C show different views of the surface calculated from the van der Waals equation. Note that whereas the ideal gas surface is relatively uniform, the van der Waals surface has a distinctive "fold". This fold develops from a critical point defined by specific values of pressure, temperature, and molar volume.

  7. Gas laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_laws

    The laws describing the behaviour of gases under fixed pressure, volume, amount of gas, and absolute temperature conditions are called gas laws.The basic gas laws were discovered by the end of the 18th century when scientists found out that relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would hold to approximation for all gases.

  8. List of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gases

    This list is sorted by boiling point of gases in ascending order, but can be sorted on different values. "sub" and "triple" refer to the sublimation point and the triple point, which are given in the case of a substance that sublimes at 1 atm; "dec" refers to decomposition. "~" means approximately.

  9. Kinetic theory of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory_of_gases

    The mathematical similarities between the expressions for shear viscocity, thermal conductivity and diffusion coefficient of the ideal (dilute) gas is not a coincidence; It is a direct result of the Onsager reciprocal relations (i.e. the detailed balance of the reversible dynamics of the particles), when applied to the convection (matter flow ...
