DALTON’S LAW AND THE GIBBS-DALTON LAW

DALTON’S LAW AND THE GIBBS-DALTON LAW 

Dalton’s law shows that for a mixture of gases occupying a given volume at a certain temperature, the total pressure of the mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the constituents of the mixture, i.e.,


The partial pressure exerted by each constituent in the mixture is independent of the existence of other gases in the mixture. Figure 2.1 shows the variation of mass and pressure of dry air and water vapor, at an atmospheric pressure of 14.697 psia (101,325 Pa) and a temperature of 75°F (23.9°C). The principle of conservation of mass for nonnuclea
r processes gives the following relationship:

Applying Dalton’s law for moist air, we have

Dalton’s law is based on experimental results. It is more accurate for gases at low pressures. Dalton’s law can be further extended to state the relationship of the internal energy, enthalpy, and entropy of the gases in a mixture as the Gibbs-Dalton law:

What is Refrigeration cycle and and how work this cycle  "The Mechanical refrigeration is accomplished by continuously circulating, evaporating, and condensing a fixed supply of refrigerant in a closed system. Evaporation occurs at a low temperature and low pressure while condensation occurs at a high temperature and high pressure. Thus, it is possible to transfer heat from an area of low temperature (i.e., refrigerator cabinet) to an area of high temperature.' We know that the Referring to the illustration below, beginning the cycle at the evaporator inlet (1), the low-pressure liquid expands, absorbs heat, and evaporates, changing to a low-pressure gas at the evaporator outlet (2). (The compressor (4) pumps this gas from the evaporator through the accumulator (3), increases its pressure, and discharges the high-pressure gas to the condenser (5). The accumulator is designed to protect the compressor by preventing slugs of liquid refrigerant from passing directly...

Equation of State of an Ideal Gas

PSYCHROMETRICS Psychrometrics is the study of the thermodynamic properties of moist air. It is used extensively to illustrate and analyze the characteristics of various air conditioning processes and cycles. Moist Air The surface of the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphere, or atmospheric air. From the point of view of psychrometrics, the lower atmosphere, or homosphere, is a mixture of dry air (including various contaminants) and water vapor, often known as moist air. The composition of dry air is comparatively stable. It varies slightly according to geographic location and from time to time. The approximate composition of dry air by volume percent is the following: The amount of water vapor present in moist air at a temperature range of 0 to 100°F (17.8 to 37.8°C) varies from 0.05 to 3 percent by mass. It has a significant influence on the characteristics of moist air. Water vapor is lighter than air. A cloud in the sky is composed of microscopic ...
