Lab # 03

Objective:
Property Analysis, Binary Analysis using Pxy Graph

1. To study the binary analysis in Aspen Plus and get the understanding of Basic Tools.
2. To make Graph b/w Pressure and Composition of Two Phase System.

Problem Description:
To study the Binary Analysis of Acetone, Methyl ethyl ketone and Hexene and make a Pxy Graph

Introduction:
ASPEN PLUS allows you to create your own process model, starting with the flowsheet, then
specifying the chemical components and operating conditions. ASPEN PLUS will take all of your
specifications and, with a click of the mouse button, simulate the model. The process simulation is
the action that executes all necessary calculations needed to solve the outcome of the system, hence
predicting its behavior. When the calculations are complete, ASPEN PLUS lists the results, stream
by stream and unit by unit, so you can observe what happened to the chemical species of your
process model.

It handles a very Complex Engineering Problems like as:

1. Properties analysis
2. Multi components handling
3. Design and Simulations
4. Modeling and training
5. Complex Material and Energy Balances

Main Features:

This is where the idea of a process model is helpful. A process model can be defined as an
engineering system's "blue print." The process model is a complete layout of the engineering system
including the following:

1. Flowsheet

2. Chemical Components:

 Acetone
 MEK
 Hexene

3. Operating Method:

 NTRL
 UNIFAC

Theory:
Binary System is defined as a process in which two or more than two components are work together
and produced new component. Binary phase diagram is defined as a phase in which two or more than
two substances are exists with each other at specific thermodynamic properties and conditions.

Consider first a case of VLE phase behavior at a constant temperature. This is in shown as the “lens”
AB. The lower part of the lens corresponds to P-y while upper curve is the P- x,y plot. The values of
the vapor and liquid compositions at any system equilibrium pressure are found by drawing a line
parallel to the axis. The point of intersection of this line with the upper curve provides the saturated
liquid phase composition (x) and is termed the bubble pressure line; while that with the lower curve
corresponds to the saturated vapor phase composition y and is termed the dew pressure line.
Extending the description, the entire upper face of the three-dimensional surface constitutes the
bubble surface. Any point above it corresponds to the state of sub-cooled liquid. In the same manner,
the lower face represents the dew surface. For any point below this face the state is that of a
superheated vapor. The line that connects the phase compositions (x and y) is called the tie line
(shown as T1-T2 Similarly, if one considers isobaric plots (shown as the lens DE), for any
equilibrium temperature the vapor and liquid phase compositions are found by drawing a line that
passes through the specific temperature and is parallel to the ). Such tie lines may be drawn at any
other pressure and the same considerations as above are valid. (From Figure P v/s x,y)

Property Analysis:
Those working in the chemical process industries (CPI) are likely familiar with physical properties
such as melting point, boiling point, density, specific heat, density and others. However, using
physical properties to create great chemical processes depends on their mutual relationships, and to
the nuances of the manufacturing process. Reaction chemistries produce new molecules, and when
different molecules are blended, formulated products are produced. Some physical properties are
common to reaction chemistries and formulated products, while others are not. How these properties
are used in a process depends upon our understanding of their value and relationship with other
properties. Just as each process has its own individual requirements, each physical property is
unique.

Discussion on Results:
Muhammad Ali Hamid 2019-CH-404

By seeing a results we concluded that the pressure is vary with liquid and vapor composition (x, y) .

1. The vapor phase of acetone decreases and vapor phase of MEK increases with pressure
2. The Liquid Phase of acetone decreases and Liquid phase of MEK varies increases with pressure.
3. At constant temperature the overall pressure of these components decreases.
4. Also in case of Hexene and Acetone same results are produced.
