 Differentiate between vapors and gases.

 Vapor:
 Vapor is a mixture of two or more different phases at room temperature,
these phases are liquid and gaseous phase.
 Vapor has a definite shape of the gaseous particles when observed under a
microscope.
 It is the homogeneous mixture of liquid particles in suspension with true
gas of the same substance.
 Vapor does not obey gas laws.
 Heat supply at constant pressure does not increase the temperature up to
saturation vapor state.
 At room temperature a vapor is in some other form. e.g. Water vapor
(H2O).

 Gas:
 Gas usually contains a single thermodynamic state at room temperature. 
 It is the state of the substance in which the evaporation from the liquid
state is complete.
 Generally, Gas obey gas laws.
 Heat supply at constant pressure increase the temperature.
 At room temperature a gas is a gas. e.g. Chlorine gas (Cl2), Oxygen gas (O2).

 Why we take the dimension of supply of natural gas


in volume while for CNG supply we commonly use
mass dimension?
 How Natural Gas is Measured?
Natural gas is used to warmth houses, cook food and power motor cars. Gases are
measured by how a good deal space, or quantity, they occupy. The volume that a
selected amount of natural fuel occupies can range, depending on temperature
and pressure; squeezed and cooled sufficient, and the fuel turns to liquid, which
takes up even much less volume. The gas enterprise has developed yardsticks for
measuring this precious useful resource.
 By the Foot:
Natural gasoline is bought and sold via the cubic foot. The U.S. Fashionable is the
amount of gas in order to fill an imaginary container one foot on every side, whilst
the temperature of the gas is 60 tiers Fahrenheit and the pressure is what you
would discover at sea degree -- one surroundings, or about 14.7 kilos per
rectangular inch. Since enterprise uses herbal fuel on a grand scale, you will
frequently see gas measured in gadgets of 1,000 square ft, mcf or Mcf -- "M" is
the vintage Roman image for 1,000 -- or 1,000,000 rectangular feet, mmcf or
MMcf, which means that 1,000 times 1,000.
 Hot Stuff:
Gas extent allows measure how plenty heat you will get from that gas. That cubic
foot of natural gasoline yields an average of 1,020 British thermal devices, or Btu.
A Btu is the amount of heat had to improve the temperature of one pound of
water through one diploma Fahrenheit at sea degree strain. Industry uses the
common determine as its yardstick because natural gas, that is primarily
methane, can contain some impurities, including nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
From a owner of a house's factor of view, the take a look at he writes to the
gasoline enterprise each month represents charge for the heat content material
of the gasoline. The application enterprise payments through "therms." A therm is
100,000 Btu, the quantity of heat you'll anticipate to generate from
approximately ninety-seven cubic ft of fuel.
 How CNG is Measured?
 Standards followed through the National Conference of Weights and Measures
(NCWM) in 1994 require CNG to be sold in gas gallon equivalents (GGE).  That
fashionable has benefited customers and enterprise alike because it gives a not
unusual unit for evaluating the common strength in CNG to the common energy
in a gasoline gallon.  It additionally gives a ready means of informing clients as to
the relative monetary price of herbal gas compared to gas.  All of the retail pumps
used nowadays within the U.S. Use the GGE unit for dishing out CNG and all retail
stations rate CNG in GGE gadgets.  Moreover, many states increasingly more are
the use of the GGE because the most appropriate unit for taxing CNG.

 Natural gasoline while sold as a transportation gas, compressed natural


gasoline or CNG, it's far measured in gasoline gallon equal or gge.
 The National Conference of Weights & Measurements (NCWM) has
developed a standard unit of size for compressed herbal gasoline.
 "Gasoline Gallon Equivalent (GGE). Gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE)
manner 5.660 kilos or 2.567 kg of natural fuel."
 Compressed Natural Gas or CNG is bought at the retail level both by way of
mass, power devices or "gas gallon equivalents" or gge.
