  • For a real mixture we have

    whereφiis the fugacity coefficient [see6.5.2]


6.5.2 Fugacity coefficient


Thefugacity coefficient[see3.2.7] of theithcomponent in a mixture is defined by the relation

U Main unit:dimensionless quantity.



  • Thedependence of the fugacity coefficient on temperatureis expressed by the
    relation
    lnφi(T 2 ) = lnφi(T 1 ) +

  • In the case of anideal mixture[see6.1], theLewis-Randall ruleapplies


φi=φ•i, (6.87)

i.e. the fugacity coefficient does not depend on composition but only on temperature
and pressure. For an ideal mixture of ideal gases [see6.1.2] we than have

φi= 1. (6.88)
