SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the final temperature T3 of a mixture of two gases: dry air and water steam, given their respective initial conditions (T1, p1, m1 for air and T2, p2, m2 for steam). The user contemplates using the equation m1*c1*t1 + m2*c2*t2 = m1*c1'*t3 + m2*c2'*t3, where c1 and c2 are specific heat capacities derived from software tables. Additionally, the application of Dalton's Law to calculate partial pressures in the context of a vacuum chamber setup is considered essential for accurate results.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermodynamics, specifically gas mixtures
  • Familiarity with Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
  • Knowledge of specific heat capacities and their dependence on pressure and temperature
  • Experience with vacuum systems and their impact on gas behavior
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the application of Dalton's Law in gas mixtures
  • Study the calculation of specific heat capacities for gases under varying pressures
  • Explore the principles of thermodynamic equilibrium in closed systems
  • Learn about vacuum systems and their effects on gas properties and behavior
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in thermodynamics, chemical engineering, and mechanical engineering, particularly those working with gas mixtures and vacuum systems.

Homework Statement


Hello. I have problém with this system. Mixture of two gases. How can i determine temperature T3?
Gas 1 (dry air) - I know T1, p1, m1
Gas 2 (water steam) - I know T2, p2, m2

Output (mixture) P3, (m1+m2); p3<p1;p3<p2

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


Is it possible to use this solution?
m1*c1*t1+m2*c2*t2=m1*c1'*t3+m2*c2'*t3
from the software tables
c1=function(p1;t1)
c1'=function(p3;t3)
c2=function(p2;t2)
c2'=function(p3;t3)​
?

Or i should use Daltons law to determine different partial pressure in c1' and c2'?

Excuse my English. I am working on it :)

The answer depends on the details of the process that is employed.
 
This is a process in the steam turbine seals. There is one "tube" with air, second "tube" with steam and they both point into the chamber. In chamber is vacuum (vacuum is made by vacuum-pump)
 
You have two streams flowing into a closed chamber of fixed volume that is initially under zero absolute pressure?
 
Sorry my mistake. p1=p2=p3 chamber is opened.

Please draw a schematic diagram.
