Gas-Liquid Equilibrium Ideal Behavior Applications to low pressures Simplifications • the gas phase behaves as anIdeal Gas • the liquid phase exhibitsIdeal Solution Behavior
Ideal Behavior • The equilibrium criteria between 2 phases a and b is,
Equilibrium Conditions • The last criteria implies “tendency of a component to be in phase a or b is balanced” – “net mass transfer across phases is zero”
Ideal Behavior Model • Gas phase behaves as an ideal gas (IG), and liquid phase behaves as an ideal solution (IS). • These assumptions imply that • IG: molecular interactions are zero, molecules have no volume. • IS: forces of attraction/repulsion between molecules are the same regardless of molecular species. Volumes are additive (Amagat’s Law).

Bubble Point Evaluation (Ideal Behavior Model) • The bubble point pressure at a given T is
Bubble Point Evaluation • Under Raoult’s law, the bubble point has a linear dependence with the vapor pressures of the pure components. • Once the bubble point pressure is found, the equilibrium vapor compositions are found from Raoult’s law.
Dew Point Calculation • At the dew point the overall fluid composition coincides with the gas composition. That is.
Dew Point Calculation (Ideal Behavior Model) • Find DP pressure and equilibrium liquid compositions
Flash Calculations • In this type of calculations the objective is to: findfraction of vapor vaporized (fv) and equilibrium gas and liquid compositions given the overall mixture composition, P and T.
Flash Calculations (Ideal Behavior Calculations) • Start with the equilibrium equation • Material balance
Flash Calculations • Now replace either liquid or gas compositions using equilibrium equation Here replaced xi
Flash Calculations • Rearrange and sum over all yi

Flash Calculations • Objective function (flash function) is This is 1/ki – ideal equilibrium ratio
Flash Calculations • There are several equivalent expressions for the flash function (a) (b) (c)
Flash Calculations • Once fv is found the equilibrium gas and liquid compositions are evaluated from and
