Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium Measurements of Polymeric Solutions – A Review

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 ...

A new modified Wilson equation for the calculation of vapor–liquid equilibrium of aqueous polymer solutions

A local composition model based on the lattice theory and two-fluid theory, considering the excess heat capacity, which is a modified Wilson equation, is developed for the excess Gibbs energy of aqueous polymer solutions. The model represents a synergistic combination of the excess entropy for mixing molecules of different sizes and the temperature dependent residual contribution, which combine...

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...

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 ...
