    CHE 713 Homework Set 5 Fall 2022

    Due Wednesday, October 5th

    The numbers in parentheses next to each problem number indicate how many points the problem is worth in
    the overall assignment. Please show all your work to receive full credit. Be sure to follow the instructions on the
    syllabus regarding homework formatting to avoid unnecessary deductions. Using computing tools such as
    Excel or Matlab to solve the problems when possible is encouraged, but turn in any input/output files used in
    the solution.

    1. (35 pts) A cylinder fitted with a piston contains 1 kmol of a mixture of 20 mol%
    nitrogen, 35 mol% n-octane, and the balance toluene at 25 ºC and 1 bar (see
    figure). For this system, answer the following questions:
    (a) (14 pts) Find the dew point pressure of the mixture at 25 ºC.
    (b) (14 pts) Find the amount (in moles) and composition of all the phases present.
    (c) (7 pts) From the bottom of the tank, half of the total moles of liquid are
    removed very slowly, keeping the temperature and pressure constant. Find the
    amount (in moles) and composition of all the phases present after this process,
    and the amount of heat and work (in kJ) exchanged with the surroundings in
    the process.

    Use the Scatchard-Hildebrandt model for the liquid mixture. You may assume that the gas phase is an
    ideal solution, and that nitrogen is incondensable. For the properties of the pure gases, use the Pitzer-Curl
    equation of state.
    2. (30 pts) The vapor pressures of two components in a binary mixture at 300 K are P1sat = 51.50 kPa and
    P2sat = 34.50 kPa. The Henry’s constants for dilute solutions of one component in the other at 300 K have
    been estimated from experimental data as H1 = 255 kPa and H2 = 165 kPa. For this mixture, answer the
    following questions:

    (a) (5 pts) What can be said about the intermolecular interactions between the two components in the
    liquid phase?
    (b) (5 pts) Show that the mixture forms an azeotrope (a point where the liquid and vapor mixtures have the
    same composition) at 300 K.
    (c) (8 pts) Find the composition and the pressure at the azeotropic point.
    (d) (12 pts) Using Excel (or any similar software), plot the Pxy and xy diagrams of the mixture at 300 K.
    For your calculations, assume that the Carlson-Colburn model can be used for the liquid phase, and that
    the vapor phase is an ideal gas mixture.
    "#! (!%#" )
    3. (10 pts) The activity coefficient of component 1 in a binary mixture follows the equation γ! = exp & ()
    '.
    '
    +
    Find expressions to calculate the activity coefficient γ* of component 2, the excess Gibbs free energy g) ,
    and the heat of mixing h)+ of this mixture, as functions of composition and temperature.

    4. (25 pts) Underground oil reservoirs are sometimes adjacent to aquifers. In order to model an underground
    reservoir, you need to estimate the solubility of water in a heavy oil at the reservoir conditions. These
    conditions are estimated to be 130 ºC and 270 bar. Experiments at 130 ºC and 1 bar indicate that the
    ./0 23456
    solubility of steam in the oil is 2.85 × 10,- ./0 . Use this information to estimate the solubility of water in
    the oil at the reservoir conditions. For your calculations, you may assume that Henry’s law applies for the
    water in the oil, and the corresponding Henry’s constant is only a function of temperature. You may also
    assume that, at the reservoir temperature, the oil is nonvolatile, and neglect the oil’s solubility in water. To
    calculate properties of water, you may use the steam tables posted in Moodle.
