Sentences with phrase «with nearby molecules»

Gas molecules are far apart so won't vibrate in unison but they move around very quickly and so they quickly redistribute their heat by randomly colliding with nearby molecules (collisions = heat)-- again little time lag.

The oxygen easily reacts with nearby molecules, causing engine corrosion and reduced fuel efficiency.

Detailed radio maps of nearby molecular clouds reveal that they are clumpy, with regions containing a wide range of densities — from a few tens of molecules (mostly hydrogen) per cubic centimetre to more than one million.

If this turns out to be correct, once the fuel molecule combines with the air molecule, how does combustion occur from there?Does the fuel molecule just rapidly release energy, thus the nearby air molecule start moving rapidly, and push on the piston head to produce power?

Because the molecules in a gas are constantly moving about and colliding with each other, it is very likely that some nearby nitrogen or oxygen molecule will collide with our excited infrared - active gas molecule before it has a chance to emit its light.
