Gas Laws

The gas laws were developed at the end of the 18th century.
when scientists began to realize that relationships between the pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would hold to a good approximation for all gases. 
Gases behave in a similar way over a wide variety of conditions because they all have molecules which are widely spaced, and the equation of state for an ideal gas is derived from kinetic energy. 
The earlier gas laws are now considered as special cases of the ideal gas equation, with one or more of the variables held constant.
Boyle's Law :
Boyle's Law published in 1662, states that, at a constant temperature, the product of the pressure and volume of a given mass of an ideal gas in a closed system is always constant.
It can be verified experimentally using a pressure gauge and a variable volume container. It can also be derived from the kinetic theory of gases: if a container, with a fixed number of molecules inside, is reduced in volume, more molecules will strike a given area of the sides of the container per unit time, causing a greater pressure.
As a mathematical equation, Boyle's Law is written as either:
The statement of Boyle 's law is as follows:
The volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely related to the pressure exerted on it at a given temperature and given a number of moles.
Charles's Law :
Charles's Law or the law of volumes was found in 1787 by Jacques Charles. 
It states that, for a given mass of an ideal gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, assuming in a closed system.
As a mathematical equation, Charles's Law is written as either:






Gay-Lussac's Law :


Gay-Lussac's Law or the Pressure Law was found by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac in 1809. It states that, for a given mass and constant volume of an ideal gas, the pressure exerted on the sides of its container is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. 
As a mathematical equation, Gay-Lussac's Law is written as either:
where P is the pressure, T is the absolute temperature, and k3 is another proportionality constant.
Avogadro's Law :
Avogadro's Law states that the volume occupied by an ideal gas is directly proportional to the number of molecules of the gas present in the container. This gives rise to the molar volume of a gas which at STP (273.15 K, 100 kPa) is about 22.7 l/mol. The relation is given by
where n is equal to the number of molecules of gas (or the number of moles of gas).

Combined and Ideal Gas Laws :
With the addition of Avogadro's Law the combined gas Law develops into the Ideal Gas Law:
where
p is pressure
V is volume
n is the number of moles
R is the universal gas constant
T is temperature (K)
where the proportionality constant, now named R, is the universal gas constant with a value of 0.083144598 (kpa∙L)/(mol∙K). An equivalent formulation of this Law is:
where
p is the pressure
V is the volume
N is the number of gas molecules
k is the Boltzman constant (1.381×10−23 J·K−1 in SI units)
T is the absolute temperature
These equations are exact only for an ideal gas which neglects various intermolecular effects.
This law has the following important consequences:
  1. If temperature and pressure are kept constant, then the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the number of molecules of gas.
  2. If the temperature and volume remain constant, then the pressure of the gas changes is directly proportional to the number of molecules of gas present.
  3. If the number of gas molecules and the temperature remain constant, then the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume.
  4. If the temperature changes and the number of gas molecules are kept constant, then either pressure or volume (or both) will change in direct proportion to the temperature.
Other Gas Law :

Graham's Law states that the rate at which gas molecules diffuse is inversely proportional to the square root of its density. 
Combined with Avogadro's law this is the same as being inversely proportional to the root of the molecular weight.

Henry's Law states that at constant temperature, the amount of a given gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.


Dalton's Law of partial pressure states that the pressure of a mixture of gases simply is the sum of the partial pressures of the individual components. Dalton's Law is as follows
,
or
where PTotal is the total pressure of the atmosphere
PGas is the pressure of the gas mixture in the atmosphere
and PH2O is the water pressure at that temperature

FHP full form

What is the full form of FHP?


Answer :


  • Frictional Horse Power 

What does FHP mean?


The amount of power consumed by an engine in driving itself. 

It includes the power absorbed in mechanical friction and in driving auxiliaries plus, in the case of four-stroke engines, some pumping power.

What is the full form of ISFC?


Answer :

  • Indicated Specific Fuel Consumption

What does ISFC mean?


ISFC helps to determine which engine uses the least amount of fuel while producing high power. It is the ratio of fuel used to the amount of power produced by the engine.

IHP full form

What is the full form of IHP?


Answer :

  • Indicated Horse Power

What does IHP mean?


The power developed in the cylinders of an engine as calculated from the average pressure of the working fluid, the piston area, the stroke, and the number of working strokes per minute.

This means theoretical power no frictional loss can be assumed in the engine.
