  1. Why do we still need to know about the Rankine temperature scale?

    Jul 12, 2018 · The Rankine scale (/ˈræŋkɪn/) is an absolute scale of thermodynamic temperature named after the Glasgow University engineer and physicist William John Macquorn Rankine, who proposed …

  2. What happens to pressure when a liquid goes supercritical?

    Feb 2, 2024 · Interesting that twice the pressure means half again the velocity in firearms, and twice the temperature seems to equal about half again the efficiency in Rankine-cycle power plants.

  3. Why is the volume of one mole of gas 22.4 or 22.7 dm3?

    Oct 2, 2024 · It will assume different units and values depending on for instance whether the pressure is expressed in units of atmosphere ($\pu {atm}$) or pascal ($\pu {Pa}$); temperature in degrees Kelvin …

  4. Determining boiling point on a created temperature scale

    Nov 6, 2016 · 1.Assume that you construct a thermometer using gallium as the fluid instead of mercury, and that you define the melting point of gallium as 0 °G and the boiling point of gallium as 1000 °G. …

  5. thermodynamics - Is the ideal gas constant not a constant if Celsius is ...

    Nov 18, 2016 · 3 If you consider temperature to be the measure of mean kinetic energy, then to get the correct linear scale, you'd need an absolute temperature. The Kelvin scale (or the Rankine scale) …

  6. organic chemistry - Why are secondary and tertiary amines more basic ...

    Nov 3, 2024 · When comparing the mesomeric effects of primary vs secondary and tertiary amines, we see that primary amines have a more available lone pair because of less electronegativity of the …
