Ideal Gas Law:
An ideal gas is a gas that conforms, in physical behaviour, to a particular, idealized relation between pressure, volume, and temperature called the ideal gas law.

Ideal gas law
The ideal gas law is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas, first stated by Beno?t Paul ?mile Clapeyron in 1834.

The volume of a gas is proportional to the amount of gas and its Kelvin temperature and inversely proportional to its pressure.

ideal gas laws (NASA SP-7, 1965) = gas laws. ideal nozzle (NASA SP-7, 1965) The nozzle of an ideal rocket, or a nozzle designed according to the ideal gas laws.

Given the Ideal Gas Law (right), as the mean molecular weight ρ increases due to hydrogen to helium conversion, the pressure drops and the density then rises. This whole process acts to maintain hydrostatic equilibrium.

Further manipulation using the differential version of the ideal gas law, the previous equation, and assuming constant pressure, one finds dQ = C_{P} dT-V dP.
For an adiabatic process dQ=0 and recalling gamma = frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}}, one finds ...

where V = volume and R = ideal gas constant. Nearly all real gases obey the ideal gas law to very high temperatures and pressures, even those found in the interiors of stars.

This type of assumption is useful for making calculations very simple and easy to do. With this assumption, the Ideal gas law can be applied without restriction and many complications that may arise from the Van der Waals forces can be neglected.

One such reference system is a fixed quantity of gas. The ideal gas law indicates that the product of the pressure and volume (P Â- V) of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature: P cdot V = n cdot R cdot T (1) ...

The higher the temperature and the more rarefied a gas, the more closely it obeys the ideal gas laws, so the gases in most stars closely approximate ideal gases.

The cutter allowed them to carve very precise components for their rocket, which could be assembled by one person in about 30 minutes. Carrying an experiment to study the ideal gas law, the rocket reached an altitude of about 5,079 feet.
