Saturation pressure, pure component

PURE calculates pure liquid standard-state fugacities at zero pressure, pure-component saturated liquid molar volume (cm /mole), and pure-component liquid standard-state fugacities at system pressure. Pure-component hypothetical liquid reference fugacities are calculated for noncondensable components. Liquid molar volumes for noncondensable components are taken as zero. 

This is known Raoult s law and requires only the saturation pressure of the pure components. The assumptions that make this simple equation valid are that the total pressure and the saturation pressure of component i be sufficiently low. Raoult s law should be understood as a shortcut for quick calculations. 

For our needs, the saturation pressure of a mixture will be defined as the vapor pressure of a pure component that has the same critical constants as the mixture ( JT... 

Likewise, the microscopic heat-transfer term takes accepted empirical correlations for pure-component pool boiling and adds corrections for mass-transfer and convection effects on the driving forces present in pool boiling. In addition to dependence on the usual physical properties, the extent of superheat, the saturation pressure change related to the superheat, and a suppression factor relating mixture behavior to equivalent pure-component heat-transfer coefficients are correlating functions. 

Enthalpy of Vaporization The enthalpy (heat) of vaporization AHv is defined as the difference of the enthalpies of a unit mole or mass of a saturated vapor and saturated liqmd of a pure component i.e., at a temperature (below the critical temperature) anci corresponding vapor pressure. AHy is related to vapor pressure by the thermodynamically exact Clausius-Clapeyron equation ... 

It is sometimes preferable to define the standard state as the pure liquid at the system temperature and at its own saturation pressure. For any component i for which this convention is used, the normalization is also given by Eq. (34). 

The standard term p is the chemical potential of the pure component i (i.e. when Xj = 1) at the temperature of the system and the corresponding saturated vapour pressure. According to the Raoult law, in an ideal mixture the partial pressure of each component above the liquid is proportional to its mole fraction in the liquid,... 

The solution requires the concentration of the heptane and toluene in the vapor phase. Assuming that the composition of the liquid does not change as it evaporates (the quantity is large), the vapor composition is computed using standard vapor-liquid equilibrium calculations. Assuming that Raoult s and Dalton s laws apply to this system under these conditions, the vapor composition is determined directly from the saturation vapor pressures of the pure components. Himmelblau6 provided the following data at the specified temperature ... 

Using a recent equation of state of the van der Waals type developed to describe non-polar components, a model is presented which considers water as a mixture of monomers and a limited number of polymers formed by association. The parameters of the model are determined so as to describe the pure-component properties (vapour pressure, saturated volumes of both phases) of water and the phase equilibria (vapour-liquid and/or liquid-liquid) for binary systems with water including selected hydrocarbons and inorganic gases. The results obtained are satisfactory for a considerable variety of different types of system over a wide range of pressure and temperature. 

Jaques and Furter (37,38,39,40) devised a technique for treating systems consisting of two volatile components and a salt as special binaries rather than as ternary systems. In this pseudo binary technique the presence of the salt is recognized in adjustments made to the pure-component vapor pressures from which the liquid-phase activity coefficients of the two volatile components are calculated, rather than by inclusion of the salt presence in liquid composition data. In other words, alteration is made in the standard states on which the activity coefficients are based. In the special binary approach as applied to salt-saturated systems, for instance, each of the two components of the binary is considered to be one of the volatile components individually saturated with the... 

Subcooling in a shell-and-tube condensers. Figure 13.3 is the same propane condenser shown in Fig. 13.2. Let s assume that the pressure drop through the shell side is zero. Again, we are dealing with a pure component propane. The inlet vapor is at its dew point. That means it is saturated vapor. Under these circumstances, the outlet liquid should be saturated liquid, or liquid at its bubble point. As the inlet dew-point temperature is 120°F, the outlet bubble-point temperature should be 120°F. But, as can be seen in Fig. 13.3, the outlet shell-side liquid temperature is 90°F, not 120°F. Why ... 

Figure 2-14 shows the vapor-pressure lines of the two components of a mixture superimposed on the phase diagram of the mixture. The saturation envelope for the mixture lies between the vapor pressure lines of the two components. The critical temperature of the mixture lies between the critical temperatures of the two pure components. However, the critical pressure of the mixture is above the critical pressures of both of the components. The critical pressure of a two-component mixture usually will be higher than the critical pressure of either of the components. 

Figure 2-15 shows phase data for eight mixtures of methane and ethane, along with the vapor-pressure lines for pure methane and pure ethane.3 Again, observe that the saturation envelope of each of the mixtures lies between the vapor pressure lines of the two pure substances and that the critical pressures of the mixtures lie well above the critical pressures of the pure components. The dashed line is the locus of critical points of mixtures of methane and ethane. 

Pure component loadings for CO2, N2 and O2 on commercial pelleted forms of Linde type 4A, 5A and 13X molecular sieve zeolites were derived from various gravimetric and volumetric measurements. The range of pressures and temperatures over which these measurements were made were at least as broad as those encountered in the breakthrough experiments described here, to permit accurate estimations of heats of adsorption in the manner described by equation (6) above. As mentioned above, the pure component data were correlated to the LRC model, and the CO2 loadings predicted by the multicomponent LRC model compared to actual loadings in the breakthrough runs at bed saturation. 

Determination of pure component parameters. In order to use the EOS to model real substances one needs to obtain pure component below its critical point, a technique suggested by Joffe et al. (18) was used. This involves the matching of chemical potentials of each component in the liquid and the vapour phases at the vapour pressure of the substance. Also, the actual and predicted saturated liquid densities were matched. The set of equations so obtained was solved by the use of a standard Newton s method to yield the pure component parameters. Values of exl and v for ethanol and water at several temperatures are shown in Table 1. In this calculation vH and z were set to 9.75 x 10"6 m3 mole"1 and 10, respectively (1 ). The capability of the lattice EOS to fit pure component VLE was found to be quite insensitive to variations in z (6[Pg.90]

Component a making up a liquid phase (L) in contact with a gas phase (G) forms a two phase system. In the equilibrium state, the chemical potential of component a in the gas and contacting phase are equal. The equilibrium saturated vapor pressure of pure component a in the gas phase over the pure liquid phase a can be designated with p. Using the expression for a perfect gas, Eq. (4-1), for the chemical potential of a, one gets an expression of the chemical potential of component a in liquid a, p (L), in the equilibrium state ... 

Curve ABC in each figure represents the states of saturated-liquid mixtures it is called the bubble-point curve because it is the locus of bubble points in the temperature-composition diagram. Curve ADC represents the states of saturated vapor it is called the dewpoint curve because it is the locus of the dew points. The bubble- and dew-point curves converge at the two ends, which represent the saturation points of the two pure components. Thus in Fig. 3.6, point A corresponds to the boiling point of toluene at 133.3 kPa, and point C corresponds to the boiling point of benzene. Similarly, in Fig. 3.7, point A corresponds to the vapor pressure of toluene at 100°C, and point C corresponds to the vapor pressure of benzene. 

A method has been developed for calculating equilibrium vapor compositions, based on boiling point vs. liquid composition data, for systems saturated with a salt. Such ternary systems in effect have been treated as binaries (26) in which the standard state of each of the two liquid components is that of being saturated with salt instead of being pure and with the pure-component vapor pressures being so adjusted. For example, in the ethanol-water-salt ternary systems tested, they have been considered as binaries composed of water saturated with salt as one component and ethanol saturated with salt as the other component. In the testing to which it has been subjected so far, the method seems encouraging. 

A law that describes the behavior of gas-liquid systems over a wide range of conditions provides the desired relationship. If a gas at temperature T and pressure P contains a saturated vapor whose mole fraction is y, (mol vapor/mol total gas), and if this vapor is the only species that would condense if the temperature were slightly lowered, then the partial pressure of the vapor in the gas equals the pure-component vapor pressure p (T) at the system temperature. 

The partial pressure of a vapor at equilibrium in a gas mixture containing a single condensable component cannot exceed the vapor pressure of the pure component at the system temperature. If p = p, the vapor is saturated any attempt to increase p,—either by adding more vapor to the gas phase or by increasing the total pressure at constant temperature—must instead lead to condensation. 

Pure component studies indicate the rate of mercaptan formation is sufficiently rapid at hydrotreating conditions compared to the saturation step which lead to alkane [8]. The exothermic reversible reaction, which shifts to the left at higher hydrogen sulfide partial pressure, is also dependent on temperature, feedstock type, total sulfiir, partial pressure of hydrogen and alkenes, space velocity and catalyst type. Furthermore the size of the reactor affect the balance between the kinetic sulfur removal and alkene saturation [9].
