The Nature of Equilibrium


Equilibrium is a static condition in which no changes occur in the
macroscopic properties of a system with time. This means there
is a balance between all potentials that may cause change.
An isolated system consisting of liquid and vapour phases in
intimate contact eventually reaches a final state wherein no
tendency exist for change to occur within the system. The
temperature, pressure, and phase compositions reach final
values which thereafter remain constant.

Composition of a system can be measured and characterised in


different ways. The three most important measures of
composition are
.

Phase Rules
A phase is homogeneous region of matter. Various phases can
coexist, but they must be in equilibrium for the phase rule to
apply.

The intensive state of a system at equilibrium is established


when its temperature, pressure, and the composition of all
phases are fixed. These are phase-rule variables.

Phase rule variables are intensive properties. Overall or total


compositions are not phase rule variables when more than one
phase is present.

The phase rule gives the number of variables from this set which
must be arbitrarily specified to fix all remaining phase rule
variables.
KMM 543E 4
VAPOUR / LIQUID EQULIBRIUM

Phase Rules
For any system at equilibrium, the number of independent
variables that must be arbitrarily fixed to establish its intensive
state is given by Gibbs phase rule :

F  2   N
F = the number of independent intensive variables in a system
(also called degrees of freedom or variance)

 = number of phases

N = number of chemical species in the entire heterogeneous


system

KMM 543E 5
VAPOUR / LIQUID EQULIBRIUM

Phase Rules
F  2   N
The number of degrees of freedom (F) of a system is the number of the
variable factors (temperature, pressure, and concentration of the
components) which must be arbitrarily fixed in order that the condition
of the system may be perfectly defined.

Phase Rules
F  2   N
Gibbs phase rule is of
use in deciding whether
or not an equilibrium
problem is “well posed”
that is, whether enough
information is available
for the problem to be
solvable, but it is not of
use in actually solving
the equilibrium state.

VAPOUR / LIQUID EQULIBRIUM

VLE : Qualitative Behaviour


Vapour/liquid equilibrium (VLE) is the state of coexistence of
liquid and vapour phases.

When N = 2, the phase rule becomes F = 4-.

Since there must be at least one phase ( =1), the maximum


number of phase-rule variables which must be specified to fix
the intensive state of the system is three: P, T and one mole
( or mass) fraction.

All equilibrium states of the system can therefore be represented


in three-dimensional P-T-composition space.

Within this space, the states of pairs of phases coexisting at


equilibrium (F=4-2=2) define surfaces.

Appreciable negative departures from P-x1 linearity
reflect stronger liquid phase intermolecular attractions
between unlike than between like pairs of molecules.

Conversely, appreciable positive departures result for

SIMPLE MODELS FOR VLE


When thermodynamics is applied to vapour/liquid equilibrium,
the goal is to find by calculation the temperature,
pressure, and compositions of phases in equilibrium.
Thermodynamics provides the mathematical framework for the
systematic correlation, extension, generalisation, evaluation,
and interpretation of data.
All these can not be accomplished without models for the
behaviour of systems in vapour/liquid equilibrium.

The two simplest models are

 Raoult’s law
 Henry’s law
KMM 543E 19
VAPOUR / LIQUID EQULIBRIUM

Raoult’s Law
The two major assumptions required to reduce VLE
calculations to Raoult’s law are :
· The vapour phase is an ideal gas,
· The liquid phase is an ideal solution.
The first assumption means that Raoult’s law can apply only
for low to moderate pressures.
The second implies that it can have approximate validity only
when the species that comprise the system are chemically
similar. Ideal solution behaviour is often approximated by
liquid phases wherein the molecular species are not too
different in size and are of the same chemical nature.

VAPOUR / LIQUID EQULIBRIUM

Raoult’s Law
yi P  xi Pi sat

xi = a liquid phase mole fraction,

yi = a vapour phase mole fraction, and


Pi sat= the vapour pressure of pure species i at the temperature
of the system.
An important and useful feature of Raoult’s law is valid for any species
present at a mole fraction approaching unity, provided only that the vapour
phase is an ideal gas.
Chemical similarity of the constituent species is not here a requirement.

Dewpoint and Bubblepoint Calculations with Raoult’s Law

Engineering interest centres on dewpoint and bubblepoint


calculations; there are four classes:

BUBL P : Calculate (yi) and P, given (xi) and T


DEW P : Calculate (xi) and P, given (yi) and T
BUBL T : Calculate (yi) and T, given (xi) and P
DEW T : Calculate (xi) and T, given (yi) and P

Henry’s Law
Application of Raoult’s law to species i requires a value for satat the
Pi
temperature of application, and this is not appropriate for a species
whose critical temperature is less than the temperature of
application.
If a system of air in contact with liquid water is presumed at
equilibrium, then the air is saturated with water. The mole
fraction of water vapour in the air is usually found from Raoult’s
law applied to the water with the assumption that no air
dissolved in the liquid phase. Thus, at 25C and atmospheric
pressure :

P2sat 3.166
y2    0.0312
P 101.33
KMM 543E 26
VAPOUR / LIQUID EQULIBRIUM

Henry’s Law
If one wishes to calculate the mole fraction of air dissolved in
the water, then Raoult’s law cannot be applied, because the
critical temperature of air is such lower than 25C.

This problem can be solved by Henry’s law.

For a species present as a very dilute solute in the liquid phase,


Henry’s law then states the partial pressure of the species in the
vapour phase is directly proportional to its liquid phase mole
fraction.
yi P  xi ki (10.4)

ki is Henry’s constant.

VLE BY MODIFIED RAOULT’S LAW


For low to moderate pressures a much more realistic equation
for VLE results when the second major Raoult’s law
assumption is abandoned, and account is taken of deviations
from solution ideality in the liquid phase by a factor inserted
into Raoult’s law :

yi P  xi  i Pi sat
(i  1,2,....., N ) (10.5)
i is called an activity coefficient. Activity coefficients are
functions of temperature and liquid phase composition, and
ultimately are based on experiment.

Relative Volatility and Azeotrope :


Relative volatility is a measure of the differences in volatility
between 2 components, and hence their boiling points. It indicates
how easy or difficult a particular separation will be.

y1 / x1
12  (10.8)
y 2 / x2

Thus if the relative volatility between 2 components is very close to


one, it is an indication that they have very similar vapour pressure
characteristics. This means that they have very similar boiling points
and therefore, it will be difficult to separate the two components via
distillation.

Flash Calculations

•The name originates from the fact that a liquid at a pressure


equal to or greater than its bubble point pressure “flashes” or
partially evaporates when the pressure is reduced, producing a
two phase system of vapor and liquid in equilibrium.
•P,T-flash refers to any calculation of the quantities and
compositions of the vapor and liquid phases making up a two-
phase system in equilibrium at known T, P, and overall
composition.
Flash Calculations
Consider a system containing one mole of non-reacting chemical species
with an overall composition represented by the set of mole fractions (zi). Let
L be the moles of liquid, with mole fractions (xi) and let V be the moles of
vapour, with mole fractions (yi). The material balance equations are:

EXAMPLE 10.5

• The system acetone(1)/acetonitrile(2)/nitromethane(3) at 80C and


110kPa has the overall composition z 1=0.45, z2=0.35, z3=0.20.
Assuming that Raoult’s law is appropriate to this system, determine
L, V, xi and yi. The vapor pressures of the pure species at 80C are:

• P1sat =195.75 P2sat = 97.84 P3sat = 50.32 kPa

• First do a BUBL P calculation with zi=xi to determine Pbubl.

• Pbubl=x1 P1sat + x2 P2sat + x3 P3sat = 132.4 kPa

• Second do a DEW P calculation with zi=yi to determine P dew.

• Pdew=1/(y1/P1sat + y2/P2sat + y3/P3sat )=101.52 kPa

• 101.52 < 110 < 132.40  2 phase exists


SOLUTION THERMODYNAMICS :THEORY
What is solution ?
The term solution includes homogeneous or heterogeneous mixtures of two or more
components whether in the gas, liquid, or solid phase.
Thermodynamic principles, which were developed for pure substances, are equally
applicable to solutions of fixed composition.
If the composition of the solution changes, the functional relations for all
thermodynamic properties require one additional term for each additional component
present.

Many applications of chemical engineering thermodynamics are to systems wherein
multi component gases or liquids undergo composition changes as the result of

 the transfer of species from one phase to another

makes prediction of liquid phase properties difficult.
 Experimentation on the system of interest at the conditions

 Previously, we discussed the use of low-pressure VLE data
for the calculation of liquid phase activity coefficients.

As practicing engineers, you will rarely have the time to conduct


your own experiments.
 You must rely on correlations of data developed by other
researchers.
 These correlations are empirical models (with limited
fundamental basis) that reduce experimental data to
mathematical equations.

KMM 543E 98
Models for the Excess Gibbs Energy
Models that represent the excess Gibbs energy have several
purposes:
 they reduce experimental data down to a few parameters
(Data Reduction)
 they facilitate computerized calculation of liquid phase
properties by providing equations from tabulated data
 In some cases, we can use binary data (A-B, A-C, B-C) to
calculate the properties of multi-component mixtures (A,B,C)

A series of GE equations for activity coefficients are derived from


the Redlich/Kister expansion:
GE
 B  C( x1  x 2 )  D( x1  x 2 )2 (cons tan t T )

Equations of this form “fit” excess Gibbs energy data quite well.
However, they are empirical and cannot be generalized for multi-
component (3+) mixtures or multiple temperatures.

Excess Gibbs Energy Models
Practicing engineers usually get information about activity
coefficients from correlations obtained by making assumptions
about excess Gibbs Energy. These correlations:
 reduce vast quantities of experimental data into a few
empirical parameters,
 provide information an equation format that can be used in
thermodynamic simulation packages (Provision, Unisym,
Aspen)
Simple empirical correlations
 Symmetric, Margules, van Laar
 No fundamental basis but easy to use
 Parameters apply to a given temperature, and the models
usually cannot be extended beyond binary systems.

 Wilson, NRTL, Uniquac
 Some fundamental basis
 Parameters are temperature dependent, and multi-

Local Composition Models
Unfortunately, the previous approach cannot be extended to
systems of 3 or more components. For these cases, local
composition models are used to represent multi-component
systems.
 Wilson’s Theory
 Non-Random-Two-Liquid Theory (NRTL)
 Universal Quasichemical Theory (Uniquac)

While more complex, these models have two advantages:


 the model parameters are temperature dependent
 the activity coefficients of species in multi-component liquids
can be calculated using information from binary data.

Wilson’s Equations for Multi-Component Mixtures

The strength of Wilson’s approach resides in its ability to describe


multi-component (3+) mixtures using binary data.
 Experimental data of the mixture of interest (ie. acetone,
ethanol, benzene) is not required
 We only need data (or parameters) for acetone-ethanol,
acetone-benzene and ethanol-benzene mixtures

The excess GibbsEenergy for multicomponent mixtures is written:

Non-Ideal VLE to Moderate Pressures: Overview SVNA 14.1

We now have the tools required to describe and calculate vapour-


liquid equilibrium conditions for even the most non-ideal
systems.

1. Equilibrium Criteria:
 In terms of chemical potential
 iv   li
 In terms of mixture fugacity

f̂iv  f̂il
2. Fugacity of a component in a non-ideal gas mixture:
f̂iv (T,P, y 1, y 2 ,..., y n )  y i ˆ iv (T,P, y 1, y 2 ,..., y n ) P
3. Fugacity of a component in a non-ideal liquid mixture:

To this point, Raoult’s Law was only description we had for VLE
behaviour: y P  x P sat

We know that calculations based on Raoult’s Law do not predict


actual phase behaviour due to over-simplifying assumptions.

Accurate treatment of non-ideal phase equilibrium requires the use


of mixture fugacities. At equilibrium, the fugacity of each
component is the same in all phases. Therefore,
