How the ideal gas volume scenario calculator works

The ideal-gas equation is pV = nRT. Volume in m³ = amount in mol × the stated R of 8.31446261815324 J/(mol·K) × Kelvin temperature ÷ absolute pressure in Pa. Pressure entered in kPa is multiplied by 1,000. Litres equal cubic metres × 1,000.

Temperature and pressure must be positive absolute quantities; gauge pressure and Celsius are not valid substitutes. This educational ideal model does not account for real-gas compressibility, condensation or high-density effects. It is not a vessel-fill, hazardous-gas or safe operating-pressure calculation.

Quantities use the stated units and finite bounded inputs. Whole purchases round up under the documented model; cost components round half-up to cents before totals are summed. Undefined ratios stay unavailable. π and logarithms use normal numeric precision. Display rounding does not alter the entered assumptions.

Worked example

10 mol at 300 K and 100 kPa absolute gives about 0.249434 m³, or 249.434 L, under the ideal model. Doubling amount to 20 mol gives about 0.498868 m³.

Sources and assumptions

The source material explains the underlying calculation or pricing structure. Entered prices, costs, schedules and scenario choices are your assumptions; this tool does not obtain supplier quotes or predict actual results.

  • Fuel Blend Energy Scenario

    Sum two component heat contents on one matching mass or feed-volume basis and report a weighted input value.

  • Ideal Flash Steam Fraction

    Ideal flash mass fraction = (initial liquid enthalpy − final saturated-liquid enthalpy) ÷ (final saturated-vapor enthalpy − final saturated-liquid enthalpy).

  • Liquid Mass & Volume

    Estimate liquid mass from volume, or volume from mass, using your entered density. See liters, cubic meters, kilograms, tonnes and pounds together.

  • Petroleum Barrel Volume

    Convert petroleum barrels, U.S. liquid gallons, liters and cubic meters. The barrel is explicitly 42 U.S. liquid gallons, with no temperature correction.
