A gas mixture contains hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon monoxide in equal molar proportions. Treating the components of the mixture as perfect gases, determine the gas constant and the ratio of specific heats for the mixture. Calculate the work required to compress 1 kg of the mixture in reversible adiabatic flow through a pressure ratio of 2 from an initial temperature of 15°C when kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible. [Ans. 0.43 kJ/kg K. 1.4, – 82.76 kJ]
