Mixing Rules
General: = with = 3
For a binary mixture: = 1 3 111 + 31 2 2 112 + 31 2 2 122 + 2 3 222 where
112 = 121 = 211
The virial EOS is the only EOS for which there are rigorous fundamental mixing
rules available

NB! There is no good basis for the mixing rules used in generalized compressibility charts
other than mathematical convenience!
Remember adjustments for quantum gases e.g. hydrogen and helium
