LET’S SAY THAT
For a binary system:
A = More Volatile Component
B = Less Volatile Component

Vapor Pressure
Evaporation takes
place when the vapor
pressure of a liquid is
equal to or greater
than the applied
pressure.

Rauolt’s law
This equation is used to calculate vapor pressure for liquid mixture
(interface between liquid and vapor phase)

Calculating Tbubble
Bubble point is the temperature at
T
which JUST ONE bubble of gas
evaporates and is in equilibrium
with the liquid whose composition y
0% A xf 100% A
100%B 0%B
Calculating Tbubble (cont’d)
Then xi=xFi
T
And yi=KixFi
Where Ki=Poi/PT y
TO GET Tbubble: Tbubble
1. Assume Tbubble x=xfeed
2. Calculate yi’s
3. Calculate Syi
if Syi=1 OK
else reassume Tbubble 0% A xf 100% A

Calculating Tdew
Dew point is the temperature at
T
which JUST ONE drop of liquid
condenses and is in equilibrium y=yfeed
with the vapour whose composition Tdew
will not be affected. x

Calculating Tdew (cont’d)
Then yi=xFi
T
And xi=yFi/Ki
y
Where Ki=Poi/PT Tdew
TO GET Tdew: x
1. Assume Tdew
2. Calculate xi’s
3. Calculate Sxi
if Sxi =1 OK 0% A yf 100% A
else reassume Tdew 100%B 0%B
