Chapter 9. Properties of Mixtures
In the first part of this book we developed the principles (laws) of the thermodynamics and applied them to pure fluids. We now we want to extend their application to multicomponent systems. The thermodynamics laws themselves are general and apply to all systems, whether pure or multicomponent. Their mathematical expressions were developed in Chapter 6 and are summarized below:
These equations require the enthalpy and entropy of the system and its various streams. The problem, then is how to calculate the properties of mixture. The properties of pure substance are functions of pressure and temperature. For mixtures, ...
