Ideal gas mixture properties

Ideal gas mixture properties are represented on the basis of Dalton s law as the sum of contributions from all components of the mixture. The following is a list of some of the basic mixture properties  

It is important to note that all component gas properties are evaluated at the mixture temperature, T, and component partial pressure, P. For the ideal gas mixture, however, enthalpy and internal energy are a fimction of temperature, and hence component gas enthalpy and internal energy are estimated as a function of mixture temperature only as given by Equations 3.47a and 3.47b, respectively. However, entropy of an ideal gas is a function of temperature and pressure, and so the component gas entropy is estimated as a function of partial pressure of the component in the mixture and the gas mixture temperature as given by Equation 3.53. 

The volume composition of a gas mixture is given as H2 78%, CO2 20%, and H20 2%. Determine (a) the mass fraction of the component gasses in the mixture, (b) the gas constant of the mixture, (c) the constant pressure specific heat of the mixture, and (d) the heat transfer to cool the mixture from 500°C to 100°C. 

The molecular weight of the mixture or the mass of the mixture per kilomole of mixture is

For a nonreacting mixture, determination of the change in enthalpy (or other thermodynamic properties) is the same as for a single ideal gas species, but follows ideal gas mixture property relations discussed in this section and exemplified in the following example. 

An ideal gas is a model gas comprised of imaginary molecules of zero volume that do not interact. Each chemical species in an ideal gas mixture therefore has its own private properties, uninfluenced by the presence of other species.

A substance is in the ideal gas state when the volume of its molecules is a zero fraction of the total volume taken up by the substance and when the individual molecules are far enough apart from each other so that there is no interaction between them. Although this only occurs at infinite volume and zero pressure, in practice, ideal gas properties can be used for gases up to a pressure of two atmospheres with little loss of accuracy. Thermal properties of ideal gas mixtures may be obtained by mole-fraction averaging the pure component values. 

The partial molar property, other than the volume, of a constituent species in an ideal gas mixture is equal to the corresponding molar property of the species as a pure ideal gas at the mixture temperature hut at a pressure equal to its partial pressure in the mixture.

The physics of the problem under study is assumed to be governed by the compressible form of the Favre-filtered Navier-Stokes energy and species equations for an ideal gas mixture with constant specific heats, temperature-dependent transport properties, and equal diffusion coefficients. The molecular Schmidt, Prandtl, and Lewis numbers are set equal to 1.0, 0.7, and 1.43, respectively [17]. 

However, two types of systems are sufficienfry important that we can use them almost exclusively (1) liquid aqueous solutions and (2) ideal gas mixtures at atmospheric pressure, hr aqueous solutions we assume that the density is 1 gtcvc , the specific heat is 1 cal/g K, and at any solute concentration, pressure, or temperature there are -55 moles/hter of water, hr gases at one atmosphere and near room temperature we assume that the heat capacity per mole is R, the density is 1/22.4 moles/hter, and aU components obey the ideal gas equation of state. Organic hquid solutions have constant properties within 20%, and nonideal gas solutions seldom have deviations larger than these. 

The defining characteristic of ideal gas mixtures is the absence of any interactions. Thus, all thermodynamic properties separate into their partial contributions for example,... 

To avoid some possible difficulties in determining chemical potentials, Lewis proposed a new property called the fugacity /. At low pressure and concentration, the fugacity is a well-behaved function. The fugacity function can define phase equilibrium and chemical equilibrium. For an ideal gas, the fugacity of a species in an ideal gas mixture is equal to its partial pressure. As the pressure decreases to zero, pure substances or mixtures of species approach an ideal state, and we have... 

If surface equilibrium prevails, then it is relatively straightforward to generalize the interface condition to chemical processes that are more complex than equations (1) and (8). This of interest, since propellant materials often experience processes of this type for example, NH4CIO4 undergoes dissociative sublimation into NH3 and HCIO4 [33]. For a general process in which the condensed material is transformed to 1 the surface equilibrium condition (for an ideal gas mixture and a solid whose thermodynamic properties are independent of pressure) is... 

Properties The diffusion coeflicient of helium in air (or air in helium) at normal atmospheric conditions is Dgg = 7.2 x 10 m% (Table 14-2). The molar masses of air and helium are 29 and 4 kg/kmol, respectively (Table A-1). Analysis This is a typical equimolar counterdiffusion process since the problem involves two large reservoirs of ideal gas mixtures connected to each other by a channel, and the concentrations of species in each reservoir (the pipeline and the atmosphere) remain constant.
