In this study, the experimental results exhibit that the mixture of water + acetic acid + methyl acetate + pxylene has interesting phase behaviors of vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) and vapor-liquid-liquid equilibrium (VLLE) under pressure of 101.32 kPa. The VLE and VLLE data were obtained with a condensed-vapor-phase-recirculating still as described in the text. The experimental data are useful...

Ambient particulate matter contains polar multifunctional oxygenates that partition between the vapor and aerosol phases. Vapor pressure predictions are required to determine the gas-particle partitioning of such organic compounds. We present here a method based on atomistic simulations combined with the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to predict the liquid vapor pressure, enthalpies of vaporizatio...

Column separation refers to the breaking of liquid columns in fully filled pipelines. This may occur in a water hammer event when the pressure drops to the vapor pressure at specific locations such as closed ends, high points or knees (changes in pipe slope). A vapor cavity, driven by the inertia of the parting liquid columns, will start to grow. The cavity acts as a vacuum, a low-pressure poin...

Background The volatility of a compound is its ability to change into a vapor, or to evaporate at a particular temperature and pressure. The normal boiling point of a liquid usually allows comparison of its volatility to other materials, with lower boiling points indicating greater volatility, but this may be affected somewhat by the presence of other materials. Comparison of the concentration ...

Abstract: A thermodynamic consistency test developed for high pressure binary vapor-liquid mixtures is applied to mixtures containing a supercritical solvent and an ionic liquid. Several authors have reported vapor-liquid equilibrium data on the binary systems supercritical CO2 + 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium hexafluorophosphate {[bmim][PF6]}, supercritical CO2 + 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium nit...

Article history: Received 29 January 2014 Received in revised form 3 March 2014 Accepted 11 March 2014 Available online 20 March 2014 This work presents observations of water phase dynamics that demonstrate the theoretical Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen concepts in mixed-phase winter storms. The work analyzes vertical profiles of air vapor pressure, and equilibrium vapor pressure over liquid water ...

A molecular-orbital derived polarizable potential function is developed to model liquid and supercritical fluid hydrogen fluoride. The model is based on a novel application of a combined quantum-mechanical and molecular-mechanical ~QM/MM! approach, which treats molecular polarization by a semiempirical method. Two geometrical models are examined, differing in the intramolecular bond length for ...
