If the fluid of density p in Problem 1.3 obeys the perfect gas law, obtain the equation of state of the mixture€”that is, P = f (p_s, (RT/M) , p_m, x). Will this result be valid if a liquid is present instead of a solid?

Data From Problem 1.3

For a fluid of density p in which solid particles of density p_s are uniformly dispersed, show that if x is the mass fraction of solid in the mixture, the density is given by
