Regretfully, Flight-Mechanic will be turning out the lights after fifteen years. Google, in its infinite wisdom, has chosen to remove Flight-Mechanic from its search results (the claim is that the content on this site is spam). We appealed their decision to shut us down, to no avail.

Unfortunately, since Google has a monopoly over internet search, this means that traffic levels on the site will drop to a level that makes maintaining it uneconomic. As time progresses, we will no longer be able to maintain the server space and will remove the site from the internet. Thanks to all who have supported us over the years.

To fight back against the monopolistic practices of companies like Google, we recommend using a competing search engine such as Brave (you get the added benefit of not being spied on by Big Tech) and advocating for anti-trust legislation from your representatives.

Gas Laws (Part Four) General Gas Law

Filed Under: Physics

By combining Boyle’s and Charles’ laws, a single expression can be derived which states all the information contained in both. The formula which is used to express the general gas law is as follows:

$1-math$

When using the general gas law formula, temperature and pressure must be in the absolute.

Example: 20 ft³ of the gas argon is compressed to 15 ft³. The gas starts out at a temperature of 60°F and a pressure of 1,000 psig. After being compressed, its temperature is 90°F. What would its new pressure be in psig?
