5404 - Data Penentuan K KUC

This document discusses vapor-liquid equilibrium calculations using K-values. It defines the vapor-liquid equilibrium constant K as the ratio of a component's mole fraction in the vapor phase to its mole fraction in the liquid phase. It provides equations for calculating K-values for light hydrocarbon systems based on temperature, pressure, and composition. It then describes procedures for using K-values to calculate bubble point, dew point, and flash distillation conditions and compositions for multicomponent mixtures.

The boiling point of (pure) n-hexane at 30 psia is 659.6 oR

This mixture is flashed at 582.74 oR where 60 % of the feed is evaporated and at this
conditions KiC4 = 3.1718, KiC5 = 1.051, KnC6 = 0.3169
Let isopentane be the reference compound and T = 582.74 oR be a guessed
value for the bubble point calculation (for the above mixture), the next calculated
temperature Tcal can be determined from
KiC5 (at Tcal) = KiC5 (at 582.74oR) / = 0.66814
Let isopentane be the reference compound and T = 582.74 oR be a guessed
value for the dew point calculation (for the above mixture), the next calculated
temperature Tcal can be determined from
KiC5 (at Tcal) = KiC5 (at 582.74oR) * = 1.4609
