Declared equation-of-state arithmetic

Ideal-gas state

Inputs

User-entered absolute pressure; gauge-to-absolute conversion is excluded.
User-entered absolute temperature in kelvin; phase behavior is excluded.
User-entered molar mass for the stated gas; composition is not inferred.

Method

Formula, when it applies, and when it does not

Calculate ideal-gas density, specific volume, amount, and mass from absolute pressure, temperature, molar mass, and volume.

pV = nRuT; ρ = pM/(RuT) = p/(RspecT)
