VALIK calculates vapor-liquid vaporization equilibrium ratios, K(I), for each component in a mixture of N components (N 20) at specified liquid composition, vapor composition, temperature, and pressure. 

Solution The fraction of liquid vaporized on release is calculated from a heat balance. The sensible heat above saturated conditions at atmospheric pressure provides the heat of vaporization. The sensible heat of the superheat is given by...

The reactor effluent might require cooling by direct heat transfer because the reaction needs to be stopped quickly, or a conventional exchanger would foul, or the reactor products are too hot or corrosive to pass to a conventional heat exchanger. The reactor product is mixed with a liquid that can be recycled, cooled product, or an inert material such as water. The liquid vaporizes partially or totally and cools the reactor effluent. Here, the reactor Teed is a cold stream, and the vapor and any liquid from the quench are hot streams. 

When the fluids being treated contain water, the equilibria most often involve three phases (liquid-liquid-vapor). 

The liquid -vapor equilibria, along the vaporization curve is expressed as ... 

This is a fairly accurate and convenient method for measuring the surface tension of a liquid-vapor or liquid-liquid interface. The procedure, in its simpli-est form, is to form drops of the liquid at the end of a tube, allowing them to fall into a container until enough have been collected to accurately determine the weight per drop. Recently developed computer-controlled devices track individual drop volumes to = 0.1 p [32]. 

A case can be made for the usefulness of surface tension as a concept even in the case of a normal liquid-vapor interface. A discussion of this appears in papers by Brown [33] and Gurney [34]. The informal practice of using surface tension and surface free energy interchangeably will be followed in this text.

There is, of course, a mass of rather direct evidence on orientation at the liquid-vapor interface, much of which is at least implicit in this chapter and in Chapter IV. The methods of statistical mechanics are applicable to the calculation of surface orientation of assymmetric molecules, usually by introducing an angular dependence to the inter-molecular potential function (see Refs. 67, 68, 77 as examples). Widom has applied a mean-held approximation to a lattice model to predict the tendency of AB molecules to adsorb and orient perpendicular to the interface between phases of AA and BB [78]. In the case of water, a molecular dynamics calculation concluded that the surface dipole density corresponded to a tendency for surface-OH groups to point toward the vapor phase [79]. 

A schematic picture of how concentrations might vary across a liquid-vapor interface is given in Fig. III-ll. The convention indicated by superscript 1, that is, the F = 0 is illustrated. The dividing line is drawn so that the two areas shaded in full strokes are equal, and the surface excess of the solvent is thus zero. The area shaded with dashed strokes, which lies to the right of the dividing... 

The most widely used experimental method for determining surface excess quantities at the liquid-vapor interface makes use of radioactive tracers. The solute to be studied is labeled with a radioisotope that emits weak beta radiation, such as H, C, or One places a detector close to the surface of the solution and measures the intensity of beta radiation. Since the penetration range of such beta emitters is small (a ut 30 mg/cm for C, with most of the adsorption occurring in the first two-tenths of the range), the measured radioactivity corresponds to the surface region plus only a thin layer of solution (about 0.06 mm for C and even less for H). 

Both the Monte Carlo and the molecular dynamics methods (see Section III-2B) have been used to obtain theoretical density-versus-depth profiles for a hypothetical liquid-vapor interface. Rice and co-workers (see Refs. 72 and 121) have found that density along the normal to the surface tends to be a... 

Thus, to encourage wetting, 7sl and 7lv should be made as small as possible. This is done in practice by adding a surfactant to the liquid phase. The surfactant adsorbs to both the liquid-solid and liquid-vapor interfaces, lowering those interfacial tensions. Nonvolatile surfactants do not affect 7sv appreciably (see, however. Section X-7). It might be thought that it would be sufficient merely to lower ytv and that a rather small variety of additives would suffice to meet all needs. Actually it is equally if not more important that the surfactant lower 7sL> and each solid will make its own demands. 

Many complex systems have been spread on liquid interfaces for a variety of reasons. We begin this chapter with a discussion of the behavior of synthetic polymers at the liquid-air interface. Most of these systems are linear macromolecules however, rigid-rod polymers and more complex structures are of interest for potential optoelectronic applications. Biological macromolecules are spread at the liquid-vapor interface to fabricate sensors and other biomedical devices. In addition, the study of proteins at the air-water interface yields important information on enzymatic recognition, and membrane protein behavior. We touch on other biological systems, namely, phospholipids and cholesterol monolayers. These systems are so widely and routinely studied these days that they were also mentioned in some detail in Chapter IV. The closely related matter of bilayers and vesicles is also briefly addressed.

The study of the infrared spectrum of thiazole under various physical states (solid, liquid, vapor, in solution) by Sbrana et al. (202) and a similar study, extended to isotopically labeled molecules, by Davidovics et al. (203, 204), gave the symmetry properties of the main vibrations of the thiazole molecule. More recently, the calculation of the normal modes of vibration of the molecule defined a force field for it and confirmed quantitatively the preceeding assignments (205, 206). 

A parallel study of liquid-vapor equilibrium was reported by Bares et al. for thiazole-CCl4 and thiazole-C<,Hi2 binary mixtures (311). 

This is identical to the ideal liquid-vapor equilibrium if rj is identified with Pi°/P2°. 

Because of this parallel with liquid-vapor equilibrium, copolymers for which ri = l/r2 are said to be ideal. For those nonideal cases in which the copolymer and feedstock happen to have the same composition, the reaction is called an azeotropic polymerization. Just as in the case of azeotropic distillation, the composition of the reaction mixture does not change as copolymer is formed if the composition corresponds to the azeotrope. The proportion of the two monomers at this point is given by Eq. (7.19). 

Next we apply this result to liquid-vapor equilibrium. The following steps outline the argument ...
