1. MATLAB REPORT ON ANTOINE EQUATION

This project aims at finding the vapor pressure of five compounds namely (Methane, Propane,
Butane, Carbon dioxide, and Carbon monoxide) using the Antoine equation and with help of
MATLAB software.
Antoine Equation And its constants for the five compounds.
The Antoine equation is a mathematical statement of the relationship between vapor pressure and
temperature of pure substances (derived from the Clausius-Clapeyron relation). Antoine
proposed the equation. The equation's most basic form is
Where; P is the absolute vapor pressure of a substance
T is the temperature of the substance
A, B and C are substance-specific coefficients (Antoine Constants)

The following are the five compounds and their constants for Antoine equation
Temp(◦C). Range
Compounds A B C
Tmin Tmax
Methane 6.84566 435.621 271.361 -183.48 -82.57

Propane 7.01887 889.864 257.084 -187.69 96.67

Butane 7.00961 1022.48 248.145 -138.29 152.03

Carbon monoxide 6.72527 295.228 268.243 -205 140.23

carbon dioxide 7.58828 861.82 271.882 -56.57 31.04

(www.irChe.com ) , (www.teachers.iauo.ac.ir. com)
 vapor pressure units were in mmHg
 Temperature values were recorded in degree Celsius

CODE GENERATION
 A script file was used to script and generate the code (program) for execution.
 When a script file runs (is executed), MATLAB executes the commands in the order
they are written and the output is displayed in the command window.
STEPS
 Input function was used in the code to make provision for the end user to insert the
different types of compounds and temperatures
 If, elseif, else function was incorporated in this code to perform execution on the basis of
true and false statement when a user enters a command that meets the specifications of
the code.
  Strcmp function is intended for comparison of two strings for equality. This return true if
every character of both strings is the same.
 \n inserts a newline character.

2. MATLAB REPORT ON SOAVE’S EQUATION.

This project aims at computing the pressure of five compounds namely (Methane, Propane,
Butane, Carbon dioxide, and Carbon monoxide) using the Soave’s equation of states and
with help of MATLAB software.
The name of the desired compound must be entered in inverted commas.
Temperature and specific volume of the gas is then provided by the user.
The values of m for the different compounds were manually calculated and then used directly
in the equation.

The following are the five compounds and their Tc, Pc, ώ values.

Compounds Tc/K Pc /Bar ώ

Methane Tc = 190.4 Pc = 46 w = 0.011

Propane Tc = 369.8 Pc = 42.5 w = 0.153

Butane Tc = 425.2 Pc = 38 w = 0.199

Carbon monoxide Tc = 132.9 Pc = 35 w = 0.066

carbon dioxide Tc = 304.1; Pc = 73.8 w = 0.239
