Homework Statement
Derive the Wassiljewa mixture model equation for a binary mixture.
Relevant Equations
x1+x2 =1
Hello,

I'm in the process of deriving the Wassiljewa mixture model equation for a binary solution. I have to find an expression gE which represents the excess g term which is added to gIS, the ideal solution, to predict the g for a real solution. I have gotten up to a point but now I'm stuck.

I do realize that
  • Setting x1 = 1 and x2 = 0 gives g#(C, x1=1) = c11=g10
Any help is appreciated.

It looks like you already wrote the equation for excess g at the outset. What am I missing?
 
Hello,

I'm aiming for the form in the image attached. I'm unsure of how to get there with what I currently have.

So, you are starting with

And you are trying to find the values of r and s that lead to the form of ##g^E## that you showed at the beginning of the post?
 
What about something like this: In both expressions, let $$x_1=0.5+\delta$$and $$x_2=0.5-\delta$$Then set the two functions equal to one another at ##\delta=0## and set as many derivatives with respect to ##\delta## at ##\delta=0## as necessary to determine all the unknown constants.
 
I think that s has to be equal to 1.
 
Thread 'Why wasn’t gravity included in the potential energy for this problem?'
I’m looking at the attached vibration problem. The solution in the manual includes the spring potential energy but does NOT include the gravitational potential energy of the hanging mass. Can someone explain why gravitational potential energy is not included when deriving the equation of motion? I tried asking ChatGPT but kept going in circles and couldn't figure out. Thanks!
