L is a bubble point
W is a dew point
LV is a tie-line
Each interior loop represents the PT
behavior of a mixture of fixed composition
In a pure component, the bubble and dew
lines coincide
What happens at points A and B?
Critical point of a mixture is the point where
the nose of a loop is tangent to the envelope
curve
Tc and Pc are functions of
composition, and do not necessarily
coincide with the highest T and P
How do we calculate a P-T envelope?
At the left of C, reduction
of P leads to vaporization
At F, reduction in P leads to
condensation and then
vaporization (retrograde
condensation)
Important in the operation of
deep natural-gas wells
At constant pressure,
retrograde vaporization
may occur

Class exercise
• From Figure 10.5, take P = 800 psia and
generate a table T, x1, y1. We call ethane
component 1 and heptane component 2.
In the table complete all the T, x1, y1
entries that you can based on Figure
10.5. For example, at T= 150 F, x1 = 0.771,
we don’t know y1 (leave it empty for now).
Continue for all the points at P = 800 psia.
Once the table is complete, graph T vs.
x1, y1. Also fill in the empty cells in the
table reading the values from the graph.
Minimum and maximum of
the more volatile species
obtainable by distillation
at this pressure
(these are mixture CPs)
azeotrope
This is a mixture of very dissimilar
components
The P-x curve in (a) lies below
Raoult’s law; in this case there are stronger
intermolecular attractions between unlike
than between like molecular pairs
This behavior may result in a minimum
point as in (b), where x1=y1
Is called an azeotrope
The P-x curve in (c) lies above Raoult’s
law; in this case there are weaker
intermolecular attractions between unlike
than between like molecular pairs; it could
end as L-L immiscibility
This behavior may result in a maximum
point as in (d), where x1=y1, it is also
an azeotrope
Usually distillation is carried
out at constant P
Minimum-P azeotrope is a
maximum-T (maximum boiling)
Point (case b)
Maximum-P azeotrope is a
minimum-T (minimum boiling)
Point (case d)
Limitations of Raoult’s law
When a component critical temperature is < T,
the saturation pressure is not defined.
Example: air + liquid water; what is in the vapor phase?
And in the liquid?
Calculate the mole fraction of air in water at 25oC and 1
atm
Tc air << 25oC
Henry’s law
For a species present at infinite dilution in the liquid phase,
The partial pressure of that species in the vapor phase is
directly proportional to the liquid mole fraction
yi P  xi H i
Henry’s constant
Calculate the mole fraction of air in water at 25oC and 1 atm.
First calculate y2 (for water, assuming that air does not dissolve in water)
Then calculate x1 (for air, applying Henry’s law)
