## Ideal gases In this chapter we introduce the concept of an ideal gas, a gas of noninteracting molecules. An ideal gas is an accurate model of dilute gases such as the atmosphere. We further introduce the notion of macroscopic variables, amongst them such familiar ones as temperature or pressur
Now that we have reviewed the first and second laws of thermodynamics we can start to look at some of their basic consequences. This will provide us with relationships that will be used throughout the rest of the book and that are also applicable outside the field of atmospheric physics. In this ch
