Mechanics of Fluids: Behavior of Gases
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
In Behavior of Gases, you will learn how to predict the pressure, temperature, and volume changes that occur in the compression and storing of gases. You will also learn to recognize hazards in gas handling and the precautions used to avoid these hazards.
Target Audience
Operations personnel who require a fundamental understanding of knowledge to operate and maintain facilities. Also suitable for maintenance and technician personnel whether new to their roles or seasoned experts looking to enhance their skills.You Will Learn
Participants will learn how to:
- Use Boyle's Law to measure changes during gas compression and expansion.
- Use Charles' Law to measure changes during gas compression and expansion.
- Describe how the General Gas Law predicts gas behavior.
- Describe units used in measuring gas.
- Outline the process for converting actual or observed gas measurements to standard conditions.
- Solve practical problems relating to gas pressure, temperature, and volume.
- Explain how real gas behavior differs from ideal gases.
- Describe the effect of compression and expansion on real gases.
- Outline the way phase change affects gas volume.
- Review the fire triangle and sources of ignition.
- Define the flammable range of a gas.
- Specify the tools used to detect the formation of a flammable mixture.
- Explain how to safely and effectively disperse vapors to a level below the flammable range.
