Question:
For the vapor liquid equilibrium (VLE), the following information is available for a binary system containing species 1 and 2:
GERT=3**x1**x2**e-280T
ln(P1put)=16.6-3600T-33
ln(P2nat)=16.3-3800T-47
in the above equations, GE is the excess Gibbs energy, PIsut is the vapor pressure of species i in
kPa,T is the absolute temperature in K and xi is the mole fraction of species i in the liquid phase.
For the above system, the modified Raoult's law:
yiP=xiiPiiat,(i=1,2)
is adequate for the description of the VLE, where yi,xi are the mole fractions of species i in the
vapor and liquid phase, respectively, P is the total pressure, and is the activity coefficient of
species i defined as:
ln(1)=GERT+x2delEHTdelx1, and ,ln(2)=GERT-x1deldelERTdelx1
Note that according to Gibbs phase rule, the above binary system has two degrees of freedom.
Also, y1+y2=1,x1+x2=1 and delx1delx2=-1.
One can show that the following two equations are applicable for the above system:
y1**P=x1e(3**(e-280T)**(1-x1)2+(16.6-3600T-33))
(1-y1)**P=(1-x1)e(3**(e-280T)**(x1)2+(16.3-3800T-47))
where y1 and T are the unknowns and x1 and P are input variables.
Perform the following tasks:
(a) Derive the Jacobian matrix for the above system (Hint: put the equations in residual
form first!).
(b) Using the residuals and Jacobian above, solve this problem using MATLAB, Use P=100
kPa and x1=0.3.
(c) Solve this problem for P=100kPa and different values of ,
...1.0). Plot T and y1 as functions of x1.
