Trial-and-error method Given the composition of a subcooled liquid and PTOTAL, find Tbp and (yi)bp VLE: mole balance: Algorithm: Pick a temperature T and find the corresponding Ki(T) values for each component Calculate the yi value for each Ki(T) Check to see if Syi = 1 If not, pick a new temperature, repeat How to pick a temperature? How to pick the next temperature?

What is its bubble point? What is the composition of the first bubble? dew point 2. Consider a sub-cooled binary liquid that is 40 mol% ethanol. Pure liquids have a boiling point mixtures have a boiling range, delimited by their bubble point and dew point.

How big should the drum be? What height should the nozzle be? What T and P should the drum be? What T and P should the feed be?Ĭonsider a binary (i.e., 2-component) system with 2-phases: What do we know? yA + yB = 1 xA + xB = 1 yA ≠ xA Tvap, Pvap yA, yB Tliq, Pliq xA, xB At equilibrium: Tvap = Tliq Pvap = Pliq Gibbs’ Phase Rule: degrees of freedom = # components (C) - # phases (P) + 2 For a binary, 2-phase system: 2 – = 2 We can specify only 2 intensive variables (all others are fixed, by VLE)ģ Specify P and T 2 graphs in one: T vs.
