Calculation Procedure:
1. Check the feed conditions at the given T and p
If ∑ 𝐾 𝑧 = 1.0, then the feed is liquid at the bubble point
If ∑ 𝑧 /𝐾 = 1.0, then the feed is vapor at the dew point
If ∑ 𝐾 𝑧 > 1.0 and ∑ 𝑧 /𝐾 > 1.0, then the feed is in two phase.
2. If the feed is in two phase, assume a value for 𝐿/𝑉
3. Calculate𝐴 = for all species
.
8. Calculate % Diff.
𝐿 /𝑉 − 𝐿/𝑉
% 𝐷𝑖𝑓𝑓 = × 100%
𝐿 /𝑉
9. If % Dif f>5% assume another value for L/V and repeat
Calculations
10. If % Diff<5%, then the solution is reacted
11. When solution is reached, calculate
𝑦 = and 𝑥 =
Since
𝐿 = 𝐹. 𝑧 − 𝑉
Then
𝐹. 𝑧 − 𝑉
𝑥 =
𝐿
