I encountered a new problem while working on design today. I remember having learned before that there’s no method for calculating mixed gases; so who calculates the comparative temperature and pressure of mixed gases?
Xiu’s edition of \"Thermodynamics of Chemical Engineering\" on pages 20–21 introduces the mixing rules. You’ll understand if you check it.
It’s in any book on chemical engineering thermodynamics; this book is easy to find on forums.
Principle of corresponding states: Different substances are in a corresponding state if they have the same contrast pressure Pr (the ratio of pressure P to critical pressure Pc) and contrast temperature Tr (the ratio of temperature T to critical temperature Tc); under such conditions, their various physical properties exhibit simple corresponding relationships. Comparison temperature: Pr = P/Pc. Comparison temperature: Tr = T/Tc. Methods for determining the comparison temperature Tc’ and comparison pressure Pc’ of a mixed gas. Tc’ = (Tc1X1 + Tc2X2 + …… + TcnXn) / 100
Pc’ = (Pc1X1 + Pc2X2 + …… + PcnXn) / 100
Where: Tc1, Tc2, Tcn – the critical temperatures of each component in the mixed gas, in K ; Pc1 Pc2 Pcn —— Critical pressures of various components in the mixed gas, kgf/cm2 ; X1 X2 Xn —— the volume percentages of various components in the mixed gas, % Last edited by zhangyong6404 on 2009-4-13 09:11]
Tc’ = (Tc1X1 + Tc2X2 + …… + TcnXn) / 100
Pc’ = (Pc1X1 + Pc2X2 + …… + PcnXn) / 100
Why is 100 used for division, and not n? !
