Real Gas

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
real gas [′rēl ′gas]
(thermodynamics)
A gas, as considered from the viewpoint in which deviations from the ideal gas law, resulting from interactions of gas molecules, are taken into account. Also known as imperfect gas.

Real Gas 

a gas having properties that are influenced significantly by molecular interaction. Under normal conditions, when the mean potential energy of molecular interactions is appreciably less than the mean kinetic energy, the properties of a real gas are not significantly different from those of an ideal gas—in such instances, ideal gas laws can be applied to real gases. The properties of real gases differ most noticeably from those of ideal gases at high pressures and low temperatures, when quantum effects start appearing.

s] for real gas undergoing isentropic compression The last process is of particular interest because it accounts for real gas properties as well as the pressure ratio of the process.
And when seen in the backdrop of the recent tussle between Russia and Ukraine, and its implication on gas supplies to Europe, it was definitely interesting to hear the first hand analysis from a real gas man.
So the bottom line is, if you are fed up with high gas prices and are serious about making some real gas mileage improvements and getting more MPG for your vehicles you should make a Hydrogen Generator.
