Mixing Two Gas Compositions

[Wilmer Flores]

I have two gas compositions that I would like to mix together (g1 + g2 = Gmix). If the properties of both gases differ in temperature, pressure, compositions, etc. How can I add them together to obtain a final gas mixture(Gmix)? 

Once I have Gmix then I can use equilibrate function that will give me all the properties of that gas mixture. 

I'm using matlab to run cantera.

Hi Wilmer,

The easiest way to do this is to write the energy/mass/entropy/species balance equations on your own using the outputs from the two previous gas mixtures, then input that into a new gas mixture for further reactor modeling etc. You will need to be sure of how these two gas flows would be mixed in real life (do you have a final pressure that is predefined? will you compress up to the higher pressure or exit at the lower pressure? etc...) then you can model this mixing process in a correct manner (isenthalpic? isentropic?).
