correlations that express physical properties of a mixture in the term pure
component properties and the mixture composition.
  Measure it

by general estimation, the only recourse is to determine the property
experimentally.

Ideal Gas Law

  Equation of state relates the quantity (mass or moles) and
volume of gas with temperature and pressure
  The simplest and mostly used is ideal gas law
PV = nRT
P = absolute pressure of the gas

V = volume or volumetric flow rate of gas
n = number of moles or molar flow rate of the gas
R = the gas constant
T = absolute temperature of gas
  Only applicable at low pressure and high temperature

Ideal Gas Law

  The equation can also be written as
where = V/n is the molar volume of the gas
  Any gas is presented by the above equation is known as an

ideal gas or perfect gas
  1 mol of ideal gas at 0oC and 1 atm occupies 22.415 L,

whether the gas is argon, nitrogen, or any other single
species or mixture of gases

Standard Conditions
  Using PVT equation is easy provided you have a set of R constant
value with different units.
  A way to avoid this is by dividing the gas law from process condition
with given chosen reference condition

Ideal Gas Mixtures – Dalton’s Law

  Suppose nA moles of substance A, nB moles of B and nC moles of C
and so on, are contained in a volume V at temperature T and total
pressure P.
  The partial pressure pA of A in the mixture are defined as
pA : The pressure exerted by nA moles of A alone in the same total

volume V at the same temperature T
From ideal gas law : PV = nRT

From partial pressure: pAV = nART
pA nA
Dividing the second equation with first : = = yA or pA = yA P
P n
Thus the ideal partial pressure of ideal gas add up to the total pressure P
pA + pB + pC + … = ( yA + yB + yC + …) P = P

Ideal Gas Mixture – Amagat’s Law

  Suppose nA moles of substance A, nB moles of B and nC moles of C
and so on, are contained in a volume V at temperature T and total
pressure P.
  The partial volume vA of A in the mixture are defined as
vA : The volume that would be occupied by nA moles of A alone at the

total pressure P at the same temperature T of the mixture
From ideal gas law : PV = nRT

From partial pressure: PvA = nA RT
vA n A
Dividing the second equation with first : = = yA or vA = yAV
V n
Thus the ideal partial volume of ideal gas add up to the total volume V
vA + vB + vC + … = ( yA + yB + yC + …)V = V

Real Gas
  As the temperature of a gas decreases and pressure increases, the ideal
gas law provides an increasing poor description
  To avoid this error - is by using real gas correction factor such as
(1) Virial Equation of State (Benedict-Webb-Rubin, BWR)
(2) Cubic Equation of State (Soave-Redlich-Kwong, SRK)
(3) Compressibility Factor of equation of State (PV = znRT)
(4) For real gas mixtures use Kay’s Rule
Single Phase System

Critical Temperature Tc and Pressure Pc
  The highest temperature at which species can coexist in

two phases (liquid and vapor) is the critical temperature
of that species, Tc and the corresponding pressure is the
critical Pressure, Pc.
  A substance at Tc and Pc is said to be at its critical state.
  Substance at temperature above and pressure above are

referred to as Supercritical Fluids.
  Vapor is a gaseous species below its Critical Temperature.
  Gas is a species above its Critical temperature

Estimation of Compressibility Factors

(1) Look up or estimate the critical temperature (Tc) and critical pressure (Pc)
(2) If the gas is hydrogen or helium, determine the pseudo critical constant
from the empirical formulas
  (Tc)adjusted = Tc + 8 K
  (Pc) adjusted = Pc + 8 atm
  The above equation are known as Newton’s correction
(3) Calculate reduced values of the two known variables (T and P, T
and , or P and ) using the formulas and use compressibility charts
  Reduced Temperature: Tr = T/Tc
  Reduced Pressure: Pr = P/Pc
  Ideal Reduced Volume:
  All temperature and pressure used for this formula must be absolute
