Mixture of two gases. If we assume each gas behaves ideally,

AI Thread Summary
In a mixture of two gases, if each gas behaves ideally, the mixture can also be considered an ideal gas. This assumption holds true under the conditions outlined by Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, which states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas. It's important to explicitly state this assumption when solving thermodynamics problems involving gas mixtures. Understanding the Dalton Model is crucial for applying these concepts effectively. Overall, recognizing the behavior of mixtures as ideal gases simplifies many thermodynamic calculations.

I'm just starting to learn thermodynamics. I was just wondering that in case of a mixture of two gases, if we assume that each gas behaves as a ideal gas, does it imply that the mixture will also behave as an ideal gas? Or do we have to state it separately while making assumptions in our problem?

Yes I'm looking into the Dalton Model. Thanks :)
 
Ask again if you have more queries.

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
