An ideal gas is a gas that behaves as if the only significant interactions between its atoms occurs during elastic collisions. Under ideal conditions, intramolecular force interactions due to charged particles, as well as systemic losses due to entropy, are ignored. In addition to these subatomic interactions occurring within a specified quantity of space, thereContinue reading “GAS LAWS: Boltzmann Constant Derivation”

HEAT AND THERMAL ENERGY: Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids.
The subatomic structure of solids and liquids have a profound influence upon how they react to a transfer of thermal energy. Solids have a relatively fixed or rigid structure, whereas the molecular structure of liquids allows for greater expansion and compression. Measurements have shown that ( in general ) a linear relationship exists between theContinue reading “HEAT AND THERMAL ENERGY: Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids.”
