vapor pressure is "the pressure of a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases
in a closed system". Therefore, vapor pressure exists at all temperatures, and furthermore it changes by
the temperature.

Calculation/estimation of vapor pressure in Hysys can be done in the way you are
proposing: but by setting the vapor fraction as ZERO, not 1.

As far as i know, when you specify 0 vapor fraction, Hysys will give you the temperature at which
lightest component(s) of the mixture will boil (Final Boiling Point). When you specify 1 vapor fraction,
Hysys will give you the temperature at which heaviest component(s) of the mixture will boil (Initial
Boiling Point). Clearly, you must enter 0 vapor fraction to estimate vapor pressure.

Vapor fraction concept is applicable for Liquid, of course ; for vapor pressure to exist, the vapor (gas
phase) MUST be in physical contact with the liquid (or solid) it came from. You CAN'T have vapor
pressure without two phases being present and in contact!!!!!! In Mixture of Liquid + Vapor , Vapor
Fraction = 0 in Hysys means 100% Liquid.

Vapor pressure of liquid at operating temperature is equal to the operating pressure in Vessel as long
as both Liquid & Vapour are at one equilibrium state.
