Calculating Mass Flux and Mass Fractions in CO2 and H2 Injection Experiment

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the mass flux of each individual species in a CO2 and H2 injection experiment with a total mass flux and equal mass fractions of 0.5, simply halve the total mass flux. This approach is based on the assumption that the mass fractions accurately represent the proportion of each gas in the mixture. While the initial intuition may suggest a more complex calculation, the equal mass fractions simplify the process. The discussion confirms that this method is valid for determining the mass flux of each component. Overall, the calculation is straightforward given the specified conditions.

I am working on a experiment that injects CO2 and H2 at a specified mass flux. The mass fraction of each is 0.5. Given the total mass flux of the combined species, how would I find the mass flux of each individual specie? I was thinking it would just be a simple halving since the mass fractions are 0.5 each.

Oh I was wondering if that's correct? It seems off intuitively, but I can't explain why.
 
Seems OK to me.
