Abstract
The entropy of mixing and the minimum separative work of a gas mixture with fixed composition per kmole of a component are studied. The entropy of diffusion and the theoretical separative work per kmole of a component in the concentration range of the component are determined for a limited mass of the mixture, when the separation process proceeds with variable concentration.
