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
M xi M i
i
it might be that

H 1 a1 b1 x 1 and H 2 a2 b2 x 2
Derive expression for H1 and H2 to show whether this is true.

water at 150oC and 150 bar, where f is the fugacity of saturated liquid at
150oC.
Hint: Use Table F.1 150 oC and Eq:

5 From the following compressibility-factor data for CO2 at 150oC prepare plots of
the fugacity and fugacity coefficient of CO2 vs P for pressures up to 500 bar.
Compare the resulting curves with those found from the generalized correlation
represented by Eq:

6 For SO2 at 600oK and 300 bar, determine good estimates of the fugacity and of
G/RT.
Hint: For given conditions the Lee/Kesler correlation is appropriate. Use data
from Tables E.15 & E.16. and Eq. ( o )( 1 ) .
