Kinetic-Theory of Gases

Kinetic theory of gases is the model or method which was developed in the 19th century by Maxwell and Boltzmann. This is possible as the interatomic force which is of short-range forces that are important for solids and liquids can be neglected for gases. This theory or gas law gives a molecular interpretation of the pressure and temperature of a gas and is consistent with gas laws and Avogadro’s hypothesis. This theory is very helpful to correctly explain the specific heat capacities of many gases, kinetic energy and it also explains the transport qualities such as viscosity, thermal conductivity, and diffusion with molecular parameters. As stated in the kinetic-molecular theory, the temperature of a substance or gas particle is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles of that substance. When a substance is heated, some of the absorbed energy is stored within the particles, while some of the energy increases the motion of the particles, called average kinetic energy.

wo spherical vessels of different sizes contain the same gas and are connected by means of a pipe with a valve. Sphere A has a diameter of 5 foot at the given pressure gauge of 50 kgf/cm2. Sphere B contains the same gas at 20 kgf/cm² gauge. The valve is opened and when the properties have been determined, it is found out that the gauge pressure is 36 kgf/cm2. The temperature at the two vessels before and after opening the valve is maintained at 21.1°C. If the barometric pressure is 750 torr and the gas inside the sphere is oxygen, find the following: 1. The pressure at sphere B in psia. 2.. Temperature at sphere B in F. 3. The pressure of the gas when mixed in psia.
