Approximate Thermodynamics States Relations in Partially Ionized Gas Mixtures

摘要

Multicomponent hydrodynamics calculations require thermodynamic state relations for material mixtures. Unfortunately, it is rarely feasible to construct accurate state relations for multicomponent atomic mixtures of interacting materials, and even less feasible to employ them in practice. In lieu of this, it is necessary to approximate the state relations of the mixture in terms of those of the pure materials of which it is composed. The question then arises of how to construct the best or most accurate approximations of this type.
