Chapter 2 Flashcards
When does azeotrope appear?
where the equilibrium line intersects the y=x line
any pint below the saturated liquid line is?
subcooled
any pint above the saturated vapor line is?
superheated
the more volatile the component
the more concentrated in vapor
the less volatile the component the
more concentrated in liquid
overall mass balance for total distillation
f= v+l
what is the slope formula for distillation
y= - (L/V)*x+ z/f
for multi component system yi is defined as?
Ki*xi
what is the k relation to vapor pressure?
Ka= VPa/P
what is the rachford rice equation?
(Ki-1)*zi/ (1+(ki-1) V/F))
what is relative volatility?
measure of ease w/ 2 components that can be separated by distillation
alpha(a,b) =
Ka/Kb
