Vapor liquid equilibrium
Under given set of conditions, the equilibrium vapour composition
is related to the liquid composition , it is called vapour liquid
equilibrium.
Basic data for distillation are the equilibrium existing between the
vapour liquid phases of a system under consideration.
The equilibrium in vapour liquid system is governed by phase
rule.
F= C–P+2
here phases = 2 and components = 2
The degrees of freedom (F) =2 so for distillation there are four
variables : Temperature , Pressure , Liquid composition & Vapour
composition.
Two of these four quantities need to be fixed to define the system
in equilibrium.
Vapor liquid equilibrium
Constant pressure vapour liquid equilibrium
If the boiling temperature is plotted versus the liquid composition
x, we get the ‘bubble point curve’. A plot of the temperature
versus y* , the equilibrium vapour composition, gives the ‘dew
point curve’.
The bubble and dew point curves for binary mixture of A and B
at 1 atm total pressure are shown in fig. Both the liquid and
vapour phase concentrations of A (the more volatile) are plotted
along the horizontal axis and the temperature is plotted along
the vertical axis.
The equilibrium diagram is shown in the T-x- y* diagram in which
x is plotted along the horizontal axis and y* along the vertical
axis.
