  2. 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 ...

  3. Ideal gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas

    The ideal gas model has been explored in both the Newtonian dynamics (as in "kinetic theory") and in quantum mechanics (as a "gas in a box"). The ideal gas model has also been used to model the behavior of electrons in a metal (in the Drude model and the free electron model), and it is one of the most important models in statistical mechanics.

  4. Avogadro's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro's_Law

    The law is a specific case of the ideal gas law. A modern statement is: Avogadro's law states that "equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules." [1] For a given mass of an ideal gas, the volume and amount (moles) of the gas are directly proportional if the temperature and pressure are ...

  5. Gibbs paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbs_paradox

    Gibbs considered the following difficulty that arises if the ideal gas entropy is not extensive. [1] Two containers of an ideal gas sit side-by-side. The gas in container #1 is identical in every respect to the gas in container #2 (i.e. in volume, mass, temperature, pressure, etc). Accordingly, they have the same entropy S. Now a door in the ...

  6. 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.

  7. Isobaric process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isobaric_process

    In the first process example, a cylindrical chamber 1 m 2 in area encloses 81.2438 mol of an ideal diatomic gas of molecular mass 29 g mol −1 at 300 K. The surrounding gas is at 1 atm and 300 K, and separated from the cylinder gas by a thin piston.

  8. Sod shock tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sod_Shock_Tube

    The Sod shock tube problem, named after Gary A. Sod, is a common test for the accuracy of computational fluid codes, like Riemann solvers, and was heavily investigated by Sod in 1978. The test consists of a one-dimensional Riemann problem with the following parameters, for left and right states of an ideal gas.

  9. Gas in a box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_in_a_box

    For example, integrating the frequency distribution function and solving for N gives the number of particles: = (/). 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.
