(Calculation of average velocities) (chemical engineering ) A gas mixture ( N_{2} =5% H_{2} =15% . NH_{3} =76% and Ar = 4% ) flows through a pipe, 25.4 mm in diameter, at 4.05 bar total pressure. If the velocities of the respective components are 0.03 m/s, 0.035 m/s, 0.03 m/s and 0.02 m/s, calculate the mass average, molar average and volume average velocities of the mixture.
