1 Introduction
The article addresses two aspects pertaining to homogeneous gas phase systems composed of
mixture of gases. The aspects addressed are;
2. Estimation of
2 Nomenclature
n: Number of gaseous species in the mixture
Xi : Specie mole fraction
Yi : Specie mass fraction
M Wi : Specie molecular weight
M Wmix : Mixture molecular weight
3 Pre-requisite definitions:
( )
Mass of specie i kg
Molecular weight of a specie i =M Wi =
Moles of specie i kmole
( )
Total mass of mixture kg
Molecular weight of mixture =M Wmix =
Total moles of mixture kmole
