Vapour liquid equilibrium

Objectives
To produce vapor-liquid equilibrium at atmospheric
pressure
To determine the equilibrium temperature and
compositions for a certain system
To compare the experimental results with the
theoretical data supplied

Vapour liquid equilibrium

Importance
A knowledge of the vapor-liquid equilibrium is
essential in the analytical treatment of a
distillation problem
Azeotropic systems can be identified

Vapour liquid equilibrium

Applications
Industrial Separation Processes
Distillation of Crude Oil
Distillation of Alcohols
Design of Distillation Columns

Vapour liquid equilibrium

Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium Concept

An isolated system consisting of
liquid and vapor phases in intimate
contact wherein
The temperature, pressure & phase
compositions reach final values
The vaporization occurs at the same
rate as the condensation
Vapour liquid equilibrium

Theory included
At equilibrium condition,
T liquid = T vapor
P liquid = P vapor
Chemical Potential liquid = Chemical Potential vapor
No change in composition
Vapour liquid equilibrium

Equilibrium data interpretation

Gibbs phase rule gives
F = C-P+2
For two component VLE, F=2-2+2=2
Thus by fixing any two of the three intensive variables
will automatically fix the remaining one.
Binary VLE data can be graphically represented in
several ways,

Conclusion
Temperature, pressure and composition of two
phases does not change at equilibrium
The temperature and pressure of the liquid and vapor
phases are equal but the compositions are not at
equilibrium
The knowledge acquired from this experiment can be
used for further calculations
