An improved understanding of the Non-Random Two Liquid model can improve correlation vapor liquid equilibrium (VLE) phase behavior beyond trial-and-error approach often employed. This work provides a rigorous, systematic evaluation model’s capabilities to contribute unqualified, component-independent findings and recommendations─a limitation previous studies. First, evaluations isobaric isother...

The aim of this work is to simulate and analyze an extractive distillation process (extractive distillation and recovery columns) for the separation of Tetrahydrofuran(THF)-Water azeotropic mixture using Aspen Plus® and Aspen Split simulators. Calculation of vapor liquid equilibrium of Tetrahydrofuran–Water– Entrainer system was done using the NRTL model, which binary interaction parameters wer...

We simulate the diffusion-driven dissolution or growth of a single-component liquid drop embedded in a continuous phase of a binary liquid. Our theoretical approach follows a diffuse-interface model of partially miscible ternary liquid mixtures that incorporates the non-random, two-liquid (NRTL) equation as a submodel for the enthalpic (so-called excess) component of the Gibbs energy of mixing,...

The determination of the existence and composition of reactive azeotropes is important from both theoretical and practical standpoints in the analysis of combined reaction and phase equilibrium and in the synthesis and design of reactive separation systems. We present here a new method for reliably locating, from given thermodynamic models, any and all reactive azeotropes for multicomponent mix...

ThermoData Engine (TDE) is the first full-scale software implementation of the dynamic data evaluation concept, as reported in this journal. The present paper describes the first application of this concept to the evaluation of thermophysical properties for ternary chemical systems. The method involves construction of Redlich-Kister type equations for individual properties (excess volume, therm...

In this work, the desulfurization ability of alkyl-piperidinium-based and phosphonium-based ionic liquids (ILs) for (thiophene or benzothiophene + heptane) mixtures are studied. With this aim, ternary liquid-liquid phase equilibrium data (LLE) have been obtained for mixtures of {IL (1) + thiophene, or benzothiophene (2) + heptane (3)} at T = 308.15 K and p = 101.33 kPa. For this study 1-pentyl-...

The Gibbs tangent plane criterion has become an important tool in determining the quality of obtained solutions to the phase and chemical equilibrium problem. The ability to determine if a postulated solution is thermodynamically stable with respect to perturbations in any or all of the phases is very useful in the search for the true equilibrium solution. Previous approaches have concentrated ...

Thermodynamics of an ionic-liquid (IL) based absorption refrigeration system has been numerically analyzed. It provides an alternative to the normally toxic working fluids, such as the ammonia in conventional absorption systems. The use of ILs also eliminates crystallization and metal-compatibility problems of the water/LiBr system. Mixtures of refrigerants and imidazolium-based ILs are theoret...
