How to Calculate and Solve for Gas to Vapour Pressure Ratio | Mineral Processing
Last Updated on December 10, 2021
The image above represents gas to vapour pressure ratio.
To compute for gas to vapour pressure ratio, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Gas Pressure (P) and Vapour Pressure (Po).
The formula for calculating the gas to vapour pressure ratio:
x = P / Po
Where:
x = Gas to Vapour Pressure Ratio
P = Gas Pressure
Po = Vapour Pressure
Let’s solve an example;
Find the gas to vapour pressure ratio when the gas pressure is 32 and the vapour pressure is 4.
This implies that;
P = Gas Pressure = 32
Po = Vapour Pressure = 4
x = P / Po
x = 32 / 4
x = 8
Therefore, the gas to vapour pressure ratio is 8.
Calculating the Gas Pressure when the Gas to Vapour Pressure Ratio and the Vapour Pressure is Given.
P = X x Po
Where:
P = Gas Pressure
x = Gas to Vapour Pressure Ratio
Po = Vapour Pressure
Let’s solve an example;
Find the gas pressure when the gas to vapour pressure ratio is 12 and the vapour pressure is 4.
This implies that;
x = Gas to Vapour Pressure Ratio = 12
Po = Vapour Pressure = 4
P = X x Po
P = 12 x 4
P = 48
Therefore, the gas pressure is 48.
Calculating the Vapour Pressure when the Gas to Vapour Pressure Ratio and the Gas Pressure is Given.
Po = P / X
Where:
Po = Vapour Pressure
x = Gas to Vapour Pressure Ratio
P = Gas Pressure
Let’s solve an example;
Find the vapour pressure when the gas to vapour pressure ratio is 8 and the gas pressure is 64.
This implies that;
x = Gas to Vapour Pressure Ratio = 8
P = Gas Pressure = 64
Po = P / X
Po = 64 / 8
Po = 8
Therefore, the vapour pressure is 8.
