Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
La constante des gaz parfaits joue un rôle de premier plan en thermodynamique; elle intervient dans l'équation d'état, cette dernière exprimant les lois de Boyle et de Charles [...], ces lois combinées en une relation bien connue pv=RT où R=pv/T est la constante universelle dite «des gaz parfaits» et dont la valeur dépend d'une part des unités choisies pour définir p, v et T, et, d'autre part, de la nature et de la masse du gaz parfait considéré. 3, record 1, French, - constante%20des%20gaz%20parfaits
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Pour l'unité de masse, l'équation est pV = RT, où p est la pression; V, le volume; R, la constante des gaz parfaits; et T, la température absolue. Pour l'air sec, la valeur de R est de 287,05 J K-1 kg-1. 6, record 1, French, - constante%20des%20gaz%20parfaits
