Real Gases
Real gases are commonly referred to as ideal gases. Real gases are characterized by their compressibility (z) in the equation PV=zRT. When the pressure, P, is set as a function of the volume, V, where the series is determined by set temperatures, T, P and V began to take hyperbolic relationships that are exhibited by ideal gases as the temperatures start to get very high. A critical point is reached when the slope of the graph is equal to zero and makes the state of the fluid change between a liquid and a vapor. The properties of ideal gases contain viscosity, thermal conductivity, and diffusion.

Famous quotes containing the words real and/or gases:
“It’s rather grisly, isnt it, how soon a living man becomes nothing more than a collection of stocks and bonds and debts and real estate?”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“The bird is not in its ounces and inches, but in its relations to Nature; and the skin or skeleton you show me, is no more a heron, than a heap of ashes or a bottle of gases into which his body has been reduced, is Dante or Washington.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
