Consistency Teat of Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium Relation without Activity Coefficient

Liquid - Vapor Equilibrium/Distillation

Background The volatility of a compound is its ability to change into a vapor, or to evaporate at a particular temperature and pressure. The normal boiling point of a liquid usually allows comparison of its volatility to other materials, with lower boiling points indicating greater volatility, but this may be affected somewhat by the presence of other materials. Comparison of the concentration ...

Thermodynamic Relations for Testing Consistency of Ternary Vapor-liquid Equilibrium Data*

Vapor-liquid equilibrium relationships are important properties for practical use, such as in the design and operation of distillation equipment. In general, vapor-liquid equilibrium relations are determined experimentally, and it is a custom to test the thermodynamic consistency of the equilibrium data. Investigators1^4-15'17'19~22-24) have proposed various methods for testing thermodynamic co...

Harmony Search for Parameter Estimation in Vapor- Liquid Equilibrium Modeling

This study introduces the application of Harmony Search (HS) method for solving the parameter estimation problem in vapor-liquid equilibrium data modeling. The performance of this novel stochastic optimization strategy has been tested using several sets of binary vaporliquid equilibrium data with local composition models and the classical approach of least squares. Our results indicate that HS ...

Closed-loop liquid-vapor equilibrium in a one-component system.

We report Monte Carlo simulations that show a closed-loop liquid-vapor equilibrium in a pure substance. This finding has been achieved on a two-dimensional lattice model for patchy particles that can form network fluids. We have considered related models with a slightly different patch distribution in order to understand the features of the distribution of patches on the surface of the particle...
