Question: Problem 4 . The boiling temperatures of a binary mixture are 2 2 0 C and 2 5 0 C for component 1 and component

Problem 4. The boiling temperatures of a binary mixture are 220C and 250C for
component 1 and component 2 respectively. At a temperature T** of 180C there
is a triple phase coexistence of a liquid (rich in component 2), a liquid (rich in
component 1) and a vapor phase. The mole fractions at the three phase line are
x1=0.88,x1=0.12,y1**=0.33. LLE exists below T**. At T=150C, the coexistent
liquid phases have mole fractions x1=0.06,x1=0.92.
a) With the data given, graph the T-x1-y1 diagram showing where in the
diagram we find VLE, LLE, three phase, and one phase. Label all phases.
b) At overall composition of z1=0.28, describe what phases/compositions do
you encounter as temperature is reduced from T=230C at constant overall
mole fraction until T=170C.
c) If the saturation pressures at a given temperature T are Psat 1=70 bar and
Psat 2=50 bar, and the 3-phase pressure P**=100 bar, with y**=0.25,
x1=0.15,x1=0.78. sketch the P-x1-y1 diagram and show where the VLE,
LLE, VLLE, and single phases are found. Label them. If there are tie-lines
show them.
d) Assume that the two liquids are completely immiscible with each other.
How do the diagrams in parts a and c change?
