Assignment Assignment: School of Chemical Engineering School of Chemical Engineering

1) The document is an assignment sheet from the School of Chemical Engineering for the academic year 2020-21. It contains 3 questions regarding vapor-liquid equilibrium calculations and chemical equilibrium. 2) The first question involves calculating vapor and liquid compositions at equilibrium for a pentane-heptane system using Antoine equations. 3) The second question involves determining gas concentrations at chemical equilibrium for a methanol synthesis reaction, and predicting if hydrogen concentration would increase or decrease at a higher temperature. 4) The third question asks to determine the number of degrees of freedom in a gas mixture of several compounds.

1) For the system n-Pentane


entane (1) – n-Heptane (2), the vapour 10 5 L3
pressures are given by the Antoine equation

where P is in kPa and T is in K. The constants are as follows:

Assuming that the solution formed is ideal, calculate:


(a) The composition of the liquid and vapour in equilibrium at
95 kPa and 336.2 K.
(b) The compositionn of the vapour in equilibrium with a liquid
containing 34% (mol) pentane and the equilibrium temperature
at P = 95 kPa.
(c) The total pressure and the vapour composition in
equilibrium with a liquid of composition x1 = 0.44 at T = 333.2
K.

2) Methanol is manufactured according to the reaction 5 6 L3


CO (g) + 2H2 (g) → CH3OH (g)
The reaction is carried out at 400 K and 1 bar. The standard
heat of reaction at this condition is –9.4538 × 104 J and the
equilibrium constant is 1.52. Analysis of the equilibrium vapour
product from the reactor shows 40% hydrogen. Equilibrium gas
mixture can be treated as an ideal gas.
(a) Determine the concentrations of CO and CH3OH in the
product.
(b) If the reaction occurred at 500 K and 1 bar starting with the
same feed as in part (a) would you expect the concentration of
hydrogen in the equilibrium mixture to be greater or less than
40% mole? Why?

3) Determine the number of degrees of freedom in a gaseous 5 6 L3


system consisting of NH3, NO2, NO, H2O, O2 and N2.
