Insoluble liquids: steam distillation
• So as long as two liquid phases are present, the mixture will boil at
the same temperature and produce a vapor of constant composition

Note: eqn (4) can be obtained by solving eqn (1) and (2) for
mole fraction ratio part and by solving eqn (1) and (3) for
energy balance part
SINGLE-STAGE OPERATION-FLASH VAPORIZATION
F=D+W (1)
FzF=DyD+WxW
(2)
From eq 1 and 2:
(D+W) zF= DyD + WxW
D (zF-yD) = W (xW- zF)
FHF+Q=DHD+WHW (3)

SINGLE-STAGE OPERATION-FLASH VAPORIZATION
• If the effluent streams were in equilibrium, the device
would be an equilibrium stage and the products would
be on a tie line.
• For example for more volatile component yD and xw
mole fractions are in equilibrium.
• Compositions yD and xw represents the top and bottom
mole fraction of the streams leaving the flash vaporizer.

Differential Condensation:
• This is a similar operation where a vapor feed is slowly
condensed under equilibrium conditions and the condensate
withdrawn as rapidly as it forms
