Example 7.2 Decomposition of di-t-butyl peroxide in the vapor phase to acetone and ethane 

Nitrogen was used as the diluent in the reaction. Its partial pressure remained approximately constant throughout the reaction Pf at 154.6°C = 8.1 mm and at 147.2°C = 4.5 mmHg). The initial partial pressures of the peroxide (A) were 168 mm and 179 mmHg at 154.6°C and 147.2°C, respectively. Obtain a suitable rate equation for the reaction, assuming ideal gas.

Data derived from pressure experiments on semi-conducting elements by Klement and Jayamaran (1966) and Minomura (1974) have also been useful in obtaining confirmation that the entropies associated with transitions in Si, Ge and Sn form a consistent pattern, supporting the concept that each crystallographic transformation tends to have a characteristic associated entropy change (Miodownik 1972a, 1972b). Similarly, extrapolations from pressure data on alloys can be used to obtain estimates of lattice stabilities at P = 0, which can then be compared with estimates obtained by other routes, such as SFE measurements. 

The second method used to determine the design mobility is to measure the mobility of the oU/water bank produced by the chemical flood in native-state cores. 131.132 xhe displacement process must produce a stable oil/water bank in a region where the interfacial tension (IFT) is not altered. Fig. 5.90132 presents the results of an oil displacement test in a 4-ft core in which an aqueous surfactant system was injected. A stabilized oil bank formed in the interval where the IFT was not affected by the surfactant. This region is shaded in Fig. 5.90. Total relative mobility was calculated from pressure data for the stabilized oil/water bank with... 

Pressure transducers were scaimed at intervals of 10 seconds and the millivolt output of the transducers was recorded on paper tape. Pressure transducers were calibrated at the beginning and the end of each run. No significant difference was found between the calibrations before and after the run. Polymer retention was determined from an over-all material balance on the entering and exiting streams. The resistance factors for each section (defined by Eq. 1) were computed from Eq. 2 using the permeability measurements obtained from 2-percent NaCl runs and the transient pressure data measured during the polymer displacement run. The residual resistance factor defined by Eq. 3 was computed from pressure data taken when no polymer was detectable in the effluent stream. 

Over-all residual resistance factors computed from pressure data taken when polymer could not be detected in the effluent stream are presented in Table 6. Residual resistance factors were not determined for each section. The over-all residual resistance factors in the Teflon core seem to be lower than values reported in the literature for natural porous materials. A comparison was not made because comparable data are rather limited in the literature. There is an increase in the residual resistance factors with polymer concentration and retention, a trend that is in agreement with similar observations of Szabo. Additional data are needed to establish the functional relationship between the residual resistance factor and polymer retention. 

The fugacity coefficient is a function of temperature, total pressure, and composition of the vapor phase it can be calculated from volumetric data for the vapor mixture. For a mixture containing m components, such data are often expressed in the form of an equation of state explicit in the pressure... 

Enthalpies are referred to the ideal vapor. The enthalpy of the real vapor is found from zero-pressure heat capacities and from the virial equation of state for non-associated species or, for vapors containing highly dimerized vapors (e.g. organic acids), from the chemical theory of vapor imperfections, as discussed in Chapter 3. For pure components, liquid-phase enthalpies (relative to the ideal vapor) are found from differentiation of the zero-pressure standard-state fugacities these, in turn, are determined from vapor-pressure data, from vapor-phase corrections and liquid-phase densities. If good experimental data are used to determine the standard-state fugacity, the derivative gives enthalpies of liquids to nearly the same precision as that obtained with calorimetric data, and provides reliable heats of vaporization. 

The correlations were generated by first choosing from the literature the best sets of vapor-pressure data for each fluid. 

Appendix C-6 gives parameters for all the condensable binary systems we have here investigated literature references are also given for experimental data. Parameters given are for each set of data analyzed they often reflect in temperature (or pressure) range, number of data points, and experimental accuracy. Best calculated results are usually obtained when the parameters are obtained from experimental data at conditions of temperature, pressure, and composition close to those where the calculations are performed. However, sometimes, if the experimental data at these conditions are of low quality, better calculated results may be obtained with parameters obtained from good experimental data measured at other conditions. 

The subscript i refers to the initial pressure, and the subscript ab refers to the abandonment pressure the pressure at which the reservoir can no longer produce gas to the surface. If the abandonment conditions can be predicted, then an estimate of the recovery factor can be made from the plot. Gp is the cumulative gas produced, and G is the gas initially In place (GIIP). This is an example of the use of PVT properties and reservoir pressure data being used in a material balance calculation as a predictive tool. 

Alternatively, q x may be obtained from the application of Eq. XVII-107 to adsorption data at two or more temperatures (see Ref. 89). Similarly, q is obtainable from isotherm data by means of Eq. XVII-115, but now only provided that isotherms down to low pressures are available so that Gibbs integrations to obtain v values are possible. 

The observed rate law depends on the type of catalyst used with promoted iron catalysts a rather complex dependence on nitrogen, hydrogen, and ammonia pressures is observed, and it has been difficult to obtain any definitive form from experimental data (although note Eq. XVIII-20). A useful alternative approach... 

Polymer simulations can be mapped onto the Flory-Huggins lattice model. For this purpose, DPD can be considered an off-lattice version of the Flory-Huggins simulation. It uses a Flory-Huggins x (chi) parameter. The best way to obtain % is from vapor pressure data. Molecular modeling can be used to determine x, but it is less reliable. In order to run a simulation, a bead size for each bead type and a x parameter for each pair of beads must be known.

Equatioa-of-state theories employ characteristic volume, temperature, and pressure parameters that must be derived from volumetric data for the pure components. Owiag to the availabiHty of commercial iastmments for such measurements, there is a growing data source for use ia these theories (9,11,20). Like the simpler Flory-Huggias theory, these theories coataia an iateraction parameter that is the principal factor ia determining phase behavior ia bleads of high molecular weight polymers. 

There are significant differences in various data sets pubtished for oleum vapor pressure. A review of existing vapor pressure data plus additional data from 10 to 8600 kPa (1.45 to 1247 psi) over the entire concentration range of oleum is available (93), including equations for vapor pressure versus temperature. Vapor pressure curves for oleum calculated from these equations are shown in Figure 19. Additional vapor pressure data from 0.06 to 14 kPa (0.5—110 torr) is given in the titerature (92).

Vapor pressure is the most important of the basic thermodynamic properties affec ting liquids and vapors. The vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a pure component at equilibrium at any temperature when both liquid and vapor phases exist and thus extends from a minimum at the triple point temperature to a maximum at the critical temperature, the critical pressure. This section briefly reviews methods for both correlating vapor pressure data and for predicting vapor pressure of pure compounds. Except at very high total pressures (above about 10 MPa), there is no effect of total pressure on vapor pressure. If such an effect is present, a correction, the Poynting correction, can be applied. The pressure exerted above a solid-vapor mixture may also be called vapor pressure but is normallv only available as experimental data for common compounds that sublime. 

An analytical method for the prediction of compressed liquid densities was proposed by Thomson et al. " The method requires the saturated liquid density at the temperature of interest, the critical temperature, the critical pressure, an acentric factor (preferably the one optimized for vapor pressure data), and the vapor pressure at the temperature of interest. All properties not known experimentally maybe estimated. Errors range from about 1 percent for hydrocarbons to 2 percent for nonhydrocarbons.

For banks of in-line tubes,/for isothermal flow is obtained from Fig. 6-43. Average deviation from available data is on the order of 15 percent. For tube spacings greater than 3D(, the charts of Gram, Mackey, and Monroe (Trans. ASME, 80, 25—35 [1958]) can be used. As an approximation, the pressure drop can be taken as 0.32 velocity head (based on V ) per row of tubes (Lapple, et al.. Fluid and Paiiicle Mechanics, University of Delaware, Newark, 1954). 

The same procedure may be applied in principle to design of forced-recirculation reboilers with shell-side vapor generation. Little is known about two-phase flow on the shell side, out a reasonable estimate of the fric tion pressure drop can be made from the data of Diehl and Unruh [Pet Refiner, 36(10), 147 (1957) 37(10), 124 (1958)]. No void-fraction data are available to permit accurate estimation of the hydrostatic or acceleration terms. Tnese may be roughly estimated by assuming homogeneous flow. 

Single-Effect Evaporators The heat requirements of a singleeffect continuous evaporator can be calculated by the usual methods of stoichiometry. If enthalpy data or specific heat and heat-of-solution data are not available, the heat requirement can be estimated as the sum of the heat needed to raise the feed from feed to product temperature and the heat required to evaporate the water. The latent heat of water is taken at the vapor-head pressure instead of at the product temperature in order to compensate partiaUv for any heat of solution. If sufficient vapor-pressure data are available for the solution, methods are available to calculate the true latent heat from the slope of the Diihriugliue [Othmer, Ind. Eng. Chem., 32, 841 (1940)].
