Differences between an Ideal gas and a perfect gas?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies the distinctions between an ideal gas and a perfect gas. An ideal gas is a theoretical construct that adheres to the equation PV=nRuT under predetermined conditions, where specific heat capacity varies with temperature changes. In contrast, a perfect gas also follows the same equation but maintains a constant specific heat capacity regardless of temperature fluctuations. Both types of gases comply with all gas laws.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Ideal Gas Law (PV=nRuT)
  • Knowledge of specific heat capacity concepts
  • Familiarity with gas laws
  • Basic thermodynamics principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of specific heat capacity in thermodynamic processes
  • Study the applications of the Ideal Gas Law in real-world scenarios
  • Explore the differences between real gases and ideal/perfect gases
  • Learn about the limitations of the Ideal Gas Law in various conditions
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, chemists, and engineers interested in thermodynamics and gas behavior will benefit from this discussion.

Is this right for difference between idea gas and perfect gas. trying to get it into head but can't find simple explation.Idea gas
it is a fictious matter that follows the PV=nRuT or PV = mRuT equation, which has predermined conditions of ideal conditions of the the gas. As temperature for the equation is predetermined, specific heat capcity will be change with the temperature change . also It follows all gas laws.

whereas Perfect gas follows the PV=nRuT equation follows the PV=nRuT or PV = mRuT equation, which has predermined conditions of ideal conditions of the the gas, y is independent to the temperature and remains constant. So as temperature for the equation changes, specific heat capcity will be change will remain the same. also It follows all gas laws.
