Calculate Gas Velocity



Formula

The formula to calculate the Gas Velocity (Vgas) is:

\[ \text{Vgas} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}} \]

What is a Gas Velocity?

Gas velocity describes the average root mean square velocity of the particles of a gas that has a specific density and temperature. It is a measure of the speed at which gas molecules move within a system and is influenced by the temperature and molar mass of the gas.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Vgas} = \sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.3145 \times 300}{0.028}} \approx 516.96 \]

The Gas Velocity (Vgas) is approximately 516.96 m/s.
