Prediction Of Vapor-Liquid Equilibria, Daniel James Mchale

Theses

Several equations for predicting vapor-liquid equilibria from the physical properties of the components have been proposed in the literature. Two equations of this type proposed by O. Redlich and others have been investigated to determine their utility.

Results indicate the two equations give fairly satisfactory results for nearly ideal solutions, but are unsatisfactory for non-ideal solutions. Knowledge of molecular interactions in the solution would be necessary before the predictions could be used with confidence.

Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium Data And Distillation Packing Evaluation At High Vacuum, Edward Joseph Lasch

Theses

Vapor pressure date and vapor-liquid equilibria date at 1-30 m.m. pressure are presented for benzyl alcohol and benzyl-n-butyl ether system. Activity coefficients for the system are symetrical, the Margules constants ere A_1-2 = A_2-1= .301. HETP values observed at a condenser pressure of 1 m.m. for 1/4" and 3/4" Berl saddles, 1" Intalox saddles, Fibre Glass Combination packings # 076 and # 476, and a Knitted Wire Mesh pecking are presented as a function of the mass throughput and column pressure drop. At a condenser pressure of 1 m.m. the pressure drop per foot in terms of …
