Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium Calculations Using K Values

A liquid mixture is partially vaporized and the vapor is allowed to come to equilibrium with the liquid. The process flow diagram is shown in Fig. 3.1. The vapor and liquid phases are then separated. Fig. 3.1 Flash distillation. Making a component i balance, FxiF = Vyi + Lxi = Vyi + (F - V)xi (3-3) Defining f = V/F, eq. (7.3) becomes ................
