Objectives
At the end of this chapter, the students will have: ! Ability to describe physical properties and laws that govern the behavior of two-phase systems. ! Ability to show that these laws must be included in the formulation of material balances on separation process units. ! Ability to describe the concept of phase rules. !

Phase Diagram
! Phase diagram shows that equilibrium not only exist between liquid and gas phase, but also between the solid and liquid phases, and the solid and gas phases of a substance. ! If T and P correspond to a point on the vapor-liquid equilibrium curve for a substance, P is the vapor pressure of the substance at temperature T, and T is the boiling point temperature of the substance at pressure P. ! The boiling point of a substance at P = 1 atm is the normal boiling point of that substance.

Phase Diagram
! If (T, P) falls on the solid-vapor equilibrium curve, then P is the vapor pressure of the solid at temperature T, and T is the sublimation point at pressure P. ! If (T, P) falls on the solid-liquid equilibrium curve, then T is the melting point or freezing point at pressure P. ! The point (T, P) at which solid, liquid and vapor phases can all coexist is called the triple point of the substance

Clausius-Clapeyron Equation
! Clausius-Clapeyron Equation is derived from Clapeyron Eqn by assuming that the specific volume of liquid is negligible relative to that of vapor and heat of vaporization is independent of temperature. Heat of Vaporization
Constant ! ! According to this equation, a plot of ln p* vs 1/T should be a straight line, with slope !Hv/R and intercept B. If you know !Hv/R and p* at a single temperature To, you can solve the constant in Clausius-Clapeyron Eqn. and thereafter use this equation to estimate p* at any temperature close to To. If you have p* vs T data, you can plot ln p* vs 1/T and determine !Hv/R and B graphically or by method of least squares

! Antoine Equation is a relatively simple empirical equation that correlates very well vapor pressure-temperature.
! A, B and C are Antoine constants (Table B.4) and have specific values for each substances. Antoine Eqn. only applicable in certain temperature limits.

Why Gibbs Phase Rule is important? So that we will be able to know the degree of freedom for that particular system and hence the number of intensive variables that can be specified independently for a system that remains at phase equilibrium. ! Extensive variables: Depend on the size of system (e.g. mass and volume) ! Intensive variables: Independent of size (e.g. T, P, y, x) the number of degrees of freedom (the number of intensive variables such as temp, pres, or mol frac that can be changed without disturbing the number of phases in equilibrium) The number of intensive parameters that must be specified in order to completely determine the system

! The gas in GLE is called noncondensable . ! The gas phase is saturated with water

F = 2 + 2 -2 = 2
! Only two of three intensive variable, T, P and yH2O can be specified arbitrarily and that some relationship must exist that uniquely determines the value of the third variable once the first two have been fixed.

! If a gas containing a single superheated vapor is cooled at constant pressure, the temperature at which the vapor becomes saturated is referred to as the dew point of the gas. ! The difference between the temperature of a gas and its dew point is called the degrees of superheat of the gas.

Example 6.4-1
A gas stream consisting of 100 lbmole/h of an SO2-air mixture containing 45mole% SO2 in contacted with liquid water in a continuous absorber at 30C. The liquid leaving the absorber analyzed and found to contain 2 g of SO2 per 100g of H2O. Assuming that the gas and liquid streams leaving the absorber in equilibrium at 30C and 1 atm, calculate the fraction of the entering SO2 absorbed in the water and the required water feed rate.
From Perrys Handbook, the partial pressure of SO2 and H2O at 45 mole% SO2 are: pH2O = 31.6 mmHg pSO2 = 176n mmHg

pA is partial pressure of A in gas phase xA is the mole fraction of A in liquid phase yA is the mole fraction of A in gas phase
! Raoults Law is an approximation that is generally valid when xA is close to 1 that is when the liquid phase is almost pure A. Sometimes, it is valid over the entire range of compositions for mixtures of similar substances, such as straight-chain hydrocarbons of similar molecular weights. HA(T) is the Henrys Law constant for A in specific solvent. Look up from Tables.
pA = yAP = xA HA(T)
! Henrys Law is valid for solutions in which xA is close to 0 (dilute solutions of A) provided that A does not dissociate, ionize, or react in the liquid phase. The law is often applied to solutions of noncondensable gases.

! The temperature at which the first bubble of vapor forms when a liquid is heated slowly at constant pressure is the bubble point of the liquid at the given pressure. ! If a gas-vapor mixture is slowly cooled at constant pressure, the temperature at which the first droplet of liquid forms is the dew point of the gas at the given pressure. How to calculate bubble point and dew point for a mixture? ! If the liquid phase mixture behaves as an ideal solution, we can employ Raoults Law and Henrys Law

Ternary Diagram
! A system which contains 3 components with different solubility affinity is termed as Ternary System. ! In a system composed of A and S that are nearly immiscible liquids, and B is a solute distributed between the phases of an A-S mixture, the distribution coefficient for component B is the ratio of the mass fraction of B in the S phase to that in the A phase. ! The behavior of this partially miscible ternary system systems is frequently represented on a Triangular Phase Diagram (TPD). ! Lever rule is needed to perform mass balance calculation based on this TPD.
