The document discusses vapor liquid equilibria (VLE) models and using the van der Waals equation of state to model a propane-butane mixture. Specifically:
1) It involves categorizing VLE models discussed in a paper into classes like equation of state, activity coefficient model, and predictive models.
2) The task is to use the van der Waals EoS to generate a pressure-composition diagram for a propane-butane mixture at 303.15K by writing a FORTRAN program that calculates fugacity coefficients and bubble points through an iterative process using Raoult's law estimates.
3) The results will be checked by plotting the calculated data points and comparing to

1. Read the paper on VLE Dont Gamble with Physical Properties for Simulations by Eric C. Carlson, Chemical Engineering Progress, October 1996, p. 35-46. Categorize the models into one or more following class of VLE Models : equation of state, specific correlation, activity coefficient model, fugacity coefficient model, predictive model, ways to optimize the parameters in the model such as using a binary interaction parameter, etc. 2. You are going use the van der Waals equation of state (VdW EoS) to generate the P-x,y diagram (P as a function of vapor and liquid compositions) of propane and n-butane binary mixture at 303.15 K. You decided not to write a computer program, but you are going to learn an available computer anyway. The procedure is as follows: Prepare an algorithm for bubble point calculation Derive fugacity coefficient for component i in the mixture using VdW EOS Read the given FORTRAN computer program given to you. Please compare the fugacity coefficient vs pressure as seen on problem 4. Write a FORTRAN computer program for bubble point calculations, using Raoults law to obtain the P and y estimates required for starting the iteration Check the results of your calculation by plotting the calculated data points and compare them with experimental data points reported by Seong et al. (J. Chem. Eng. Data, 2008, 53, 27832786).
