The Eotvos Correction Applied to the Thermal Motion of Gas Molecules
Year: 1993
Keywords: thermal motion, gas molecules, neutrons, temperatures
The paper considers the application of the Eotvos correction to the random thermal motion of gas molecules. The results show that the weight of all gases must exhibit a dependence on temperature of the order of 10-5 per degree. The result is verified by ananlyzing the free fall of neutrons and by experiments directly weighing a constant amount of gas at different temperatures.
