Phase Equilibrium
Q- Addition of a Material Separation Agent, such as benzene to an
ethanol/water mixture, changes the molecular interactions and eliminates the
: azeotrope. The ternary system (Azeotropic) Contain
Ethanol = 50% by mole
Benzene = 35% by mole
Water = 15 % by mole
: The Vapor pressure for three components are calculated by
Ethanol P*e= exp(18.5242-3578.91/(T-
50.5))
Benzene P*b= exp(15.9008-2788.51/(T-
52.36))
Water P*w= exp(18.3036-3816.44/(T-
46.13))
: Where
Ki = P*/Ptotal
Ptotal= 760 mmHg
yi =Ki*xi
The higher and Lower Bubble points of components (351.3-373 k)
.Required : Find The bubble point of ternary system
