@dr.justin.hodges: The fundamental assumption of an ideal gas is that the individual gas particles occupy negligible volume compared to the total space of the container. Additionally, it assumes there are no intermolecular forces (attraction or repulsion) acting between the particles, except during perfectly elastic collisions. Under these conditions, the gas strictly obeys the Ideal Gas Law, PV = nRT, because the particles behave as point masses that do not stick together or take up physical space. #stem #engineering #thermodynamics #automotive
