1 Title
Vapour-Liquid Equilibrium.
2.1 Objective
To determine the VLE relationship for binary mixture and to plot the equilibrium curve.
3.1 Introduction
The composition of the liquid (bottom product) and vapour (top product) are
determined by using refractive index (RI). Refractive index is known as a ratio of velocity light
in a vacuum to its velocity in a particular medium. In this case, the Distillation Column is the
example for the application of Vapour-Liquid Equilibrium (VLE) in an equipment.
