Term
ideal gas
Definition
a gas with molecules having pure elastic collisions and or potential energy of i nteraction or chemical bonding between molecules is negligible.
Term
density
Definition
amount of mass within a unit volume; mass per unit volume
Term
Pressure
Definition
the force is produced by momentum exchange onto a unit surface area from random molecular motions. Force per unit area.
Term
temperature
Definition
proportional to teh mean kinetic energy of molecular motion. For a gas, proportional to the mean translation kinetic energy of random molecular motions
Term
how many molecules are in X kilomoles of any ideal gas?
Definition
X *Na
Term
How many molecules are in X kg of any ideal gas having a molecular weight M
Definition
# of molecules = (Xkg/M)*Na
Term
How many molecules of any ideal gas are in a volume of V1 having a pressure of P1 and a temperature of T1
Definition
R = p1/rho1T1 M= R*/R
Term
What is the mean kinetic energy for each molecule tpe in an ideal gas mixture having a pressure of P, gas constant R, and a density of rho?
Definition
For each molecule type the temperature is the same and T=(1/3K)mV^2 = 3kt/2=3kp/2rhoR
Term
Percent of a molecule type by number is the same as
Definition
% by mole
Term
Speeds or the velocity components are inversely proportional to the mass of the molecule. explain
Definition
ideal gas have elastic collision so lessinertial will over experience higher speeds due to collisions with the more massive molecules having greater inertia. conservation of momentum and ke. newtons third law. the less massive molecules have lower inertia their direction and speed changes will be altered more considerably.
Term
OMega equation brings you to omega =Vdotgradp what is assumed
Definition
steady state pressure field on isentropic surfaces dp/dt = 0

dry adiabatic flow or conservation of potential temperature. dtheta/dt=0
Term
gradient goes toward
Definition
higher values
Term
dot product
Definition
cos
Term
isoteric,isopycnic,isochoric
Definition
dalpha=drho=dV=0
dq=du=cvdT=(cv/R)*alpha*dp
heating directly related to changes in T and p
Tand p must change
Term
isothermal process
Definition
dT=0 dq = dw=pdalpha=-alphadp
du=0 dh = 0
heat directly related to changes in p and alpha
p and alpha must change
Term
isobaric process
Definition
dp=0
dq=dh=cpdT=(cp/R)*p*dalpha = (cp/R)dw
heating is directly related to change in T and alpha
Term
equation
Definition
alphadp+pdalpha=RdT
