Comes now the web page
http://www.dr-fix-it.com/absorption.html
which says that the ammonia-based absorption-cycle refrigerators ==do== operate only because droplets of liquid ammonia dripping into the ambient of the evaporator (= 200psi of pure hydrogen gas) can only continue to exist (as a liquid) if there would ALSO arise na ammonia-vapor-pressure of the same 200psi.
(which can never happen, so all of the ammonia ==doesl== evaporate, trying to get there)
and the webpage further says that all of this is due to the truth of Dalton's Law.
However comma, I can't find anywhere else, statements about Dalton's Law which say that the pure-ammonia-liquid-droplets, are even able to sense what the hydrogen-pressure is; much less think that that ought to equilibrate to it.
What am I missing?
