Please answer parts A through F below, including a ternary diagram that includes all of its necessary components and complete the tables below.
(30 points) A student in UT PGE department studied a simple ternary system consisting of methane (C1), n-butane (C4), and n-octane (C8). She planned an experiment to measure tie lines for this ternary system using a PVT cell. First, she made a mixture of 85 mol%Cl and 15 mol% C8(Mixture 1) in a PVT cell at 140 bars and 400K, which resulted in vapor-liquid equilibrium. The compositions of equilibrium gas and liquid phases were measured by using Eas chromatograph, which yielded a first tie line (TL.1) as
shown in Tble 1.
a.(5 points) Analytically calculate the mole fraction af the vapor phase by using material tralarice and the cata given in Table 1. Give three digits after the decimal point. Do not use a graphical method (i.e., no need to use a ruler).
b.(5 points) Clearly indicate Mixture 1 on the ternary diagram.
c.(5 points) Usinf, the data table, clearly indicate TL 1 on the ternary diagram. Then, she added a small amount of C4, and obtained a 2nst tie line (TL 2) at the same temperature and pressure bars and 400kj as shown in Table 2. She repeated this process of adding a certain amount of pure C4 and measuring equilibrium phase compositions. She abtained TLS 3,
4,5, and 6. The tables below show the compositions (in mole percentage) of equil brated liquid
and vapor phases in her measurements.
d.(5 points) Draw TLs 2,3,4,5, and 6 on the diagram.
e.(5 points) Make a two-phase envelope. There must be a critical point on your diagram. Clearly indicate the critical point on the diagram. Clearly indicate the bubble-point curve, and the dew-point curve.
f.(5 points) The student recorded the overall composition used to measure each tie line, but forgot to show them in Tables 2,3,4,5, and 6. Please fill the blanks for these tables (2 through 6), basecl on your diagram. Hint: Oraw the mixing line between Mixture 1 and
100%Cl, on which all the mixtures must lie. Table 3. Overall composition of Mixture 3, and resultine, tie line (TL 3). Table 4. Overall composition of Mixture 4, and resulting tie line (TL4).
Table 5. Overall composition of Mixture 5, and resultine tie line (TL 5). Table 6. Overall composition of Mixture 6, and resulting tie line (TL 6).
