Solution Thermodynamics Theory

1. What is the change of entropy when 0.7 m3 of CO2 and 0.3 m3 of N2, each at 1 bar
and 25oC blend to form a homogeneous gas mixture at the same conditions?
Assume ideal gases.
The entropy change of mixing is given by Eq:

S  S ig   xi Si ig   R  xi ln xi
i i

2 For a particular binary liquid solution at constant T and P, the molar enthalpies of
mixtures are represented by the equation

H  x1 (a1  b1x1 )  x2 (a2  b2 x2 )


where a1 and b1 are constants. Since the equation has the form of Eq.


M   xi M i
i

it might be that

H 1  a1  b1 x 1 and H 2  a2  b2 x 2

4 Steam at 9,000 kPa and 400oC undergoes an isothermal change of state to a


pressure of 300 kPa. Determine the ratio of the fugacity in the final state to that in
the initial state.
