Ideal Gas Mixtures
Mixtures in Engineering Applications
• Natural gas– Methane, ethane, propane, butane, nitrogen,
hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and others• Refrigerants
– Zeotropes - True mixture behavior• Example: R407c - R32/125/134a (23/25/52 by mass)
– Azeotropes - Mixtures that behave as a pure fluid
• Example: R507A - R125/143a (50/50 by mass)• Air and water vapor
– Psychrometric analysis• Air conditioning applications

Thermodynamic Properties of Mixtures• Real mixture behavior
– Real mixture model• Very complex to describe analytically
– Topic for an advanced course• EES can calculate real-properties of common mixtures!
• Low-pressure, moderate density– Ideal solution model
• Gases are treated as real fluids with idealized mixing– Topic for an advanced course
• Low-pressure, low density– Ideal gas mixing model
• Gases are treated as ideal gases with idealized mixing– ME 322!!

Ideal Gas Mixture Models
• Air Conditioning– Water vapor + air mixtures
• Conditions are suitable for ideal gas property estimation – even for water vapor!
• Combustion Analysis– Products of combustion are often at high
temperatures and low pressure
Even though the ideal gas mixing model is simplified, it turns out to be fairly accurate for two important processes that mechanical engineers deal with ...
The rest of ME 322 deals with these two processes

Combustion products can contain CO2, H2O, O2, N2, CO, NO2, and others!
In order to get a better estimate of the performance of the gas turbine, we need to be able to determine the properties of the mixture passing through the turbine
