GAS MIXTURES AND PSYCHROMETRICS Up

... An ideal gas is defined as a gas whose molecules are spaced far apart so that the behavior of a molecule is not influenced by the presence of other molecules—a situation encountered at low densities. We also mentioned that real gases approximate this behavior closely when they are at a low pressure ...

... • Convection is called forced convection if the fluid is forced to flow in a tube or over a surface by external means such as a fan, pump, or the wind. In contrast, convection is called free (or natural) convection if the fluid motion is caused by buoyancy forces that are induced by density differe ...

Atmospheric convection



Atmospheric convection is the result of a parcel-environment instability, or temperature difference, layer in the atmosphere. Different lapse rates within dry and moist air lead to instability. Mixing of air during the day which expands the height of the planetary boundary layer leads to increased winds, cumulus cloud development, and decreased surface dew points. Moist convection leads to thunderstorm development, which is often responsible for severe weather throughout the world. Special threats from thunderstorms include hail, downbursts, and tornadoes.
