10.2-2Given: PVapH2O(T=109.5C)=1.

4088 bar
PVapH2O(T=100.6C)=1.0352 bar
PVapFURF(T=109.5C)=0.1690 bar
PVapFURF(T=100.6C)=1.4088 bar
P=1.013 bar
@ System 1, XH2O=0.1,YH2O =0.81
The vapor phase is ideal, liquid phase activity coefficients are independent of
temperatire but dependent on composition.
Reqd:Equilibrium vapor and liquid composition at new temperature.

First we need to find the parameters for van laar equations. In order to do this
we will solve the activity coefficients @XH2O=0.1 and XFURF=0.9.
@ XH2O = 0.1,
YH2O= 0.81 and P= 1.013 bar

Y H2O P

Vap
Using the equation,
X H 2O P

, we could solve for the activity

coefficient of water at that point.So,

H 2 O=5.824318569
@ XFURF = 0.9,
YFURF= 0.19 and P= 1.013 bar

Y FURF P

=
FURF
Using the equation,
X FURF PVap

, we could solve for the activity

coefficient of furfural at that point.So,

FURF =1.265417488
In order to get the parameters for van laar equations, we will use Eq.9.5-10.

X FURF ln FURF 2
=(1+
) ln H 2 O
X H 2 O ln H 2 O
=(1+

X H 2 O ln H 2 O 2
) ln FURF
X FURF ln FURF

Substituting all the known values, we get,

=8.546634449
=0.7897980181
It is stated in the problem that the liquid phase activity coefficient are
independent of temperature, these parameter can be used for computing the
composition for the new temperature.

Substituting these parameters into equations 9.5-9, we will solve the activity
coefficients at various points.

ln E =

ln B =

The activity coefficients are shown in Table 2.


After solving the activity coefficients, the P, and y values are then solved.
Since pressure is constant, we need to find the composition where the equilibrium
pressure is 1.013 bar and its respective x and y are the new compositions for the
new temperature.

X H 2O =0.0747
Y H 2 O =0.8707
