Helium question - stratification
Helium question - stratification
(OP)
Suppose I have a pressure vessel with internal volume of 10scf. Now assume the vessel is open to atmosphere of air at stp. I close the vessel, and then inject 90scf of helium gas. The chamber now has a 100scf mix of 90% helium, 10%air. The internal pressure is 10atm.
After a period of time, will the two gasses stratify into distinct layers such that if I had a valve I could remove the pure helium gas from the top of the vessel? See attached picture

You could use the gas for party balloons.
