Is there such a thing as a partial temperature of a gas in a mixture? Partial pressure is commonly accounted for and used. It seems that if there are molecules of different masses colliding in a mixture, their average respective velocities in a mixture should be different based on transfer of momentum and conservation of energy equations. Am I missing something?
Also if this is a thing, wouldn't there be an application regarding Maxwell's demon paradox? For example if a mesh small enough to only allow single atoms through is used to separate chambers in a gas mixture container?
