Week 1: Assignment 1: - COURSE CONTENT WEEK 6 :-PROCESS AND PROPERTY ANALYSIS IN DETAIL AND SIMULATION • Practice problems on binary mixtures • Miscellaneous practice problems and case studies • Model Analysis Tools Week 6: Assignment 6: 64.0 Analysis tools (Ternary mixtures) • It is of three component system, there should be A, B and C. • we have a triangular graph where the corners of the triangular chart have 100% A, 100% B and 100% C. • So, any portion of the chart, it indicates a mole fraction of A, mole fraction of B and mole fraction of C. So, this is called ternary diagram, • We can work on valid phases, either it can be vapor liquid or it can be vapor liquid liquid, two liquids two immiscible liquids something like water and organics. • Then we can identify the azeotropes. • Take a system with water, octanol and hexane. Obtain a ternary Diagram at one atmosphere pressure with 15 tie lines. Valid Phases are V-L-L. Use NRTL property method. Search for binary Azeotrope.
