Description
A pressure change results at thermal equilibrium when ideal gases initially having the same pressure, different temperature, and dissimilar molecular structure are mixed in a constant volume isolated reservoir. This pressure change does not arise from the gas mixing, but rather it results from a redistribution of energy between the translational and internal molecular motion. The conditions for the existence of an extremum in the pressure change are also given
