Partially-Miscible Liquids Phase Diagrams: Interactive Simulations
Simulation: Vapor-Liquid-Liquid Equilibrium (VLLE)
Try to answer these questions before determining the answer with the simulation. We suggest that you write down the reasons for your answers.
- At what mole fraction will the temperature stay constant when heat is added? Is there more than one?
- What vapor mole fraction can be in equilibrium with two liquid phases in this binary system?
- Can a point on a the partially-miscible phase diagram represent more than one condition (amounts of phases)?
Simulation: Partially-Miscible Liquids
Try to answer these questions before determining the answer with the simulation. We suggest that you write down the reasons for your answers.
- When the temperature increases above about 405 K, what happens?
- Suppose a mixture with a mole fraction of A equal to 0.2 is at 390 K and more of component A is added to the system. What happens?
- Suppose a mixture with a mole fraction of A equal to 0.6 is at 390 K and more of component A is added to the system. What happens?
