  2. Methane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane

    Methane is an important greenhouse gas, responsible for around 30% of the rise in global temperatures since the industrial revolution. [58] Methane has a global warming potential (GWP) of 29.8 ± 11 compared to CO 2 (potential of 1) over a 100-year period, and 82.5 ± 25.8 over a 20-year period. [59]

    Methane vapor pressure vs. temperature. ... Except where noted otherwise, data relate to Standard temperature and pressure. Reliability of data general note. References

  4. Natural gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas

    For comparison, pure methane (16.0425 g/mole) has a density 0.5539 times that of air (0.678 kg per standard cubic meter). ... The high pressure water breaks up or ...

  5. Liquefied natural gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefied_natural_gas

    For the purpose of comparison of different fuels, the heating value may be expressed in terms of energy per volume, which is known as the energy density expressed in MJ/litre. The density of LNG is roughly 0.41 kg/litre to 0.5 kg/litre, depending on temperature, pressure, and composition, [3] compared to water at 1.0 kg/litre. Using the median ...

  6. Compressed natural gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_natural_gas

    Compressed natural gas (CNG) is a fuel gas mainly composed of methane (CH 4), compressed to less than 1% of the volume it occupies at standard atmospheric pressure.It is stored and distributed in hard containers at a pressure of 20–25 megapascals (2,900–3,600 psi; 200–250 bar), usually in cylindrical or spherical shapes.

  7. Lifting gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_gas

    A balloon can only have buoyancy if there is a medium that has a higher average density than the balloon itself. Balloons cannot work on the Moon because it has almost no atmosphere. [14] Mars has a very thin atmosphere – the pressure is only 1 ⁄ 160 of earth atmospheric pressure – so a huge balloon would be needed even for a tiny lifting ...

  8. Energy density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density

    In terms of density, m = ρV, where ρ is the volumetric mass density, V is the volume occupied by the mass. This energy can be released by the processes of nuclear fission (~ 0.1%), nuclear fusion (~ 1%), or the annihilation of some or all of the matter in the volume V by matter–antimatter collisions (100%).

  9. 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 ...
