(redirected from universal gas constant)

gas con·stant (R),

R = 8.314 × 107 ergs K-1 mol-1 = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1, it is equal to the pressure of an ideal gas multiplied by its volume and divided by the product of the absolute temperature and the number of moles.

The universal gas constant has a value of [R.sub.u] = 8314.472 J/(kg * K) with an uncertainty of 2 X [10.sup.-6] [17].
The universal gas constant has a value of [R.sub.u] = 8314.472 J/(kg * K) with a relative uncertainty of 2 X [10.sup.-6] [17].
(3) are necessary: pressure, temperature, compressibility, the universal gas constant, and molecular weight.
where [m.sub.g] is the mass of gas phase, R is the gas constant (equal to the universal gas constant divided by the molecular weight of the gas), T is the absolute temperature, and [P.sub.g] is the pressure of the gas phase.
"virial coefficients." Here, p denotes pressure, v the molar volume, T the absolute temperature, and R the universal gas constant. Mason and Spurling noted the special importance of the virial equation of state because of its sound theoretical foundation (21).
where R is the universal gas constant, the rest parameters have their above-mentioned meanings.
where [Mathematical Expression Omitted] is the initial bubble pressure, [Z.sub.2] the compressibility factor of the gas inside the bubble, T temperature, and R universal gas constant.
where [n.sub.b] is the mole number of the gas in the bubble, R is the universal gas constant, T is the absolute temperature of the system, [P.sub.b] is the gas pressure inside the bubble, [P.sub.s] is the saturation pressure, A is the interfacial area, [Gamma] is the interfacial energy between liquid and gas, [P.sub.o] is the environmental pressure, and [V.sub.b] is the volume of the bubble.
where [k.sub.0], U, and A are parameters specific to the polymer, while R is the universal gas constant. The first term In Eq 2 represents a contribution due to diffusion, while the second term represents the thermodynamic driving force.
