Ideal gas

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001934

A theoretical gas composed of randomly moving point particles that interact only through elastic collisions. This model simplifies the behavior of real gases by assuming no intermolecular forces and negligible molecular volume. The ideal gas law, PV=nRT, relates pressure, volume, temperature, and the number of moles for such a gas, providing a foundational concept in reservoir engineering calculations.
