Assume 2 kg of O2 are mixed with 3 kg of an unknown gas. The resulting mixture occupies a volume of 1.2 m3 at 276
KPa and 65C. Determine
a) R and M of the unknown gas constituent
b) the volumetric analysis
c) the partial pressures
Given;
mO2 = 2 kg; mx = 3 kg
V = 1.2 m3 ; P = 276 KPa; T = 338 K
a)
m = 5 kg
xO2 = 0.40 ; xx = 0.60

R = 0.1361 KJ/kg-K
R = .40(0.26) + 0.60(Rx)
Rx = 0.535 KJ/kg-K
Mx = 15.54 kg/kgm
x .40 .60
b) i 0.0511

yO2 = 0.245 ; yx = 0.755
c) PO2 = .245(276) = 67.62 KPa ; Px = 0.755(276) = 208.38 KPa
Gas Mixture
A 3 m3 drum contains a mixture at 101 KPa and 308K of 60% CH4 and 40% O2 on a volumetric basis.
Determine: ( For O2: M = 32; k = 1.395 ; For CH4 : M = 16; k = 1.321)
a) The amount of CH4 in kg that must be added at 308K to change the volumetric analysis to
50% for each component.
b) The amount of O2 in kg that must be added at 308K to change the volumetric analysis to
50% for each component.
c) The new mixture pressure in KPa for conditions (a) and (b)
