Does the composition of the gases change after compression?
Thread Content
A certain gas, whose main component is carbon dioxide accounting for about 85%, also contains other components such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen, methane, nitrogen, and oxygen. The gas pressure is compressed from a few kPa to 300 kPa using a screw compressor; will the composition of the various components in the gas change?
There will be no reaction, no condensation, and no changes. The hydrogen and oxygen contents here need to be controlled; if their levels get out of control, it could lead to a compression explosion
Conservation of mass: if there are no phase changes or reactions, how can there be any change? ?
