 ASSIGNMENT 1

1.Find the critical pressure, critical temperature and critical compressibility factor of Acetone.
And also determine specific volume @ 150K and 30 atm using PR state equation model using
property analysis.

SOLUTION
  THUS, the critical pressure, temperature and compressibility factor of Acetone
are 79 bar, 278.85 C, 73.3738 respectively and specific volume of acetone @
T=150K and P=30atm is 61.9376ml/mol.

2. Determine binary interaction of Acetone and Ethanol using NRTL model and provide
analysis on Pxy and xy relation in aspen plus. choose appropriate model of your own and
give justification.
 SOLUTION

Binary NRTL model Pxy diagram of Acetone and Carbon-disulphide.

  To sum up the Pressure Vs mole fraction binary diagram of NRTL model more
expresses the properties of two polar liquids Acetone and Carbon-disulphide. but SRK
model is did not describe the detail properties of the two liquids, hence; None
Random Two Liquid model system is the best alternative that fully clarifies the two
Liquid system.

3. Compute the thermodynamic vapor liquid equilibria of Acetone and Ethanol mixture using
thermodynamic models and compare the result with the experimental data from NIST
ThermoData Engine.
  Binary Pxy diagram of NRTL of Acetone and Carbon-disulphide.

Temperature constant @50k NIST data with detailed data value is selected isobaric
binary vle 003.
 Binary Pxy diagram of Acetone and Carbon-disulphide of NIST data.

 Merged Binary Pxy diagram of Acetone and Carbon-disulphide.

THEREFORE: both dew point curve and bubble point curve show increment when NRTL
thermodynamic model is employed but when NIST data @isobaric binary VLE 003 is used
the diagram stays @constant pressure with variable mole fraction.

4. Find the experimental VLE Pxy Data of Acetone and Ethanol. And Perform Data
regression to obtain binary interaction parameter to improve the accuracy of the
thermodynamic model.
 VLE Pxy Data of Acetone and Benzene

 Binary Pxy diagram of Acetone and Benzene web data Regression

CONCLUSION; Both the dew point curve and bubble point curve of NRTL model is
increasing. also that of VLE data regression yields the dew point curve and bubble point
curve increasing.

6. Ternary Diagram Of Acetone/Water/MIBK.
