CHEMICAL MATERIAL BALANCE – EXAMPLE 2.6 : According to Raoult's law for ideal liquid, x (PSAT) = yP where x is mole fraction of component in liquid, y is mole fraction of component in vapor, P is overall pressure and PSAT is saturation pressure. A liquid with 60 mole % component 1 and 40 mole % component 2 is flashed to 1210 kPa. The saturation pressure for component 1 is ln (PSAT) = 15 - 3010 / (T + 250) and for component 2 is ln (PSAT) = 14 - 2700 / (T + 205) where PSAT is in kPa and T is in degree Celsius. By assuming the liquid is ideal, calculate (a) the fraction of the effluent that is liquid; (b) the compositions of the liquid and vapor phases. The outlet T is 150 degree Celsius.

CHEMICAL MATERIAL BALANCE – ANSWER 2.6 : (a) For component 1, ln (PSAT) = 15 - 3010 / (150 + 250) = 7.475, PSAT = 1763 kPa. For component 2, ln (PSAT) = 14 - 2700 / (150 + 205) = 6.394, PSAT = 598 kPa. Let x(1) PSAT(1) = y(1) P, x(2) PSAT(2) = y(2) P, then x(1) PSAT(1) + x(2) PSAT(2) = [ y(1) + y(2) ] P = P, x(1) (1763) + [ 01 - x(1) ] (598) = 1210, x(1) (1763 - 598) = 1210 - 598, x(1) = 0.525, x(2) = 1 - x(1) = 0.475. (b) y(1) = x(1) PSAT(1) / P = 0.525 (1763) / 1210 = 0.765, y(2) = 1 - y(1) = 0.235. Overall mass balance is assumed 1 mole for F = V + L where F is incoming mole, V is flashed vapor in mole and L is outgoing liquid in mole. For component 1, zF = xL + yV then 0.6(1) = 0.525 L + 0.765 (1 - L), then L = 0.6875, V = 1 - L = 0.3125. Let z to be 60 mole %.
