Immiscible Liquids Phase Diagrams: Interactive Simulations

This simulation is browser-based and will work directly on this page. Try to predict the behavior when a parameter changes before using a slider to change that parameter. Screencasts below explain how to use these simulations.

Simulation: Immiscible Liquids on Pressure-Composition Diagram

Try to answer these questions before determining the answer with the simulation. We suggest that you write down the reasons for your answers.

  1. For a temperature of 122°C, how many phases are present for a benzene mole fraction 0.30 and a pressure of 3.8 bar?
  2. How does the pressure-composition graph change as the temperature increases?

Try to answer these questions before determining the answer with the simulation. We suggest that you write down the reasons for your answers.

  1. How many phases are present at 12 bar and 160°C for a benzene mole fraction of 0.35?
  2. How does the graph change as pressure increases?
