There's a problem with the formula I believe... Gas density simply does not come into it as far as I can tell but rather the unit volume per mole... Theclem54 (talk) 12:21, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
Unit conflict edit
The equation cannot be correct in this form because it violates the simplest rules of unit conformity. Already the first term ρRT has got the unit Jkg/m³mol, and this is utterly not a pressure. However, this incongruity can easily be made vanish by replacing any mass density ρ by the concentration ρ/μ.--Slow Phil (talk) 13:37, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

This article is very unappealing, but I do not know how to fix it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.33.135.66 (talk) 19:30, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- I took a crack at it, including some context and upgrading to standard wiki citation standards. Added a few extra references. At least the Jacobson article (all 100+ pages) is free online at NIST. No doubt it will give information that will help straighten out the possible confusion with equations commented on earlier. J JMesserly (talk) 07:37, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
