10.213 Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics Spring 2002 Problem Set I

The document contains 4 chemistry problems involving thermodynamics calculations for mixtures including determining fugacity and excess Gibbs free energy using equations of state and experimental data provided. Problem 29 involves deriving an expression for fugacity and calculating it for n-butane gas at different conditions. Problem 30 provides an expression for excess Gibbs free energy and tasks involve determining activity coefficients and verifying relationships. Problem 31 involves fitting experimental data to determine parameters for a correlating equation and calculating enthalpies. Problem 32 asks to determine the ratio of fugacities for steam undergoing an isothermal change in state using steam tables.

b ) V + Z 1 ln Z . As a hint, consider the use of either

d GR 1 dP GR P = o ( Z 1) (eq 6.46) or + Z 1 ln Z (eq 6.57) where = . = o ( Z 1) P V RT RT b) Determine the fugacity of n-butane gas at 500 K and 50 bar using the equation derived in a). c) Determine the fugacity of n-butane gas at 500 K and 50 bar using the values of HR = -4.51 kJ/mol and SR = -6.55 J/mol-K determined in Example 6.4 for n-butane under these conditions (pp 215-216 in SVN&A). d) Determine the fugacity of n-butane gas at 500 K and 50 bar using generalized correlations.

Problem 30 The excess Gibbs free energy of a binary liquid mixture at T and P is given by:
GE = (2.6 x1 1.8 x 2 ) x1 x 2 RT

a) Find expression of ln 1 and ln 2 at T and P. b) Show that when these expressions are combined in accord with Eq 11.95 that the given equation for GE/RT is recovered. c) Show that the expressions in a) satisfy the Gibbs-Duhem equation. d) Show that (d ln 1/dx1)x1=1 = (d ln 2/dx1)x1=0=0. e) Plot GE/RT, ln 1, and ln 2 as calculated by the given equation for GE/RT and by the equations developed in a) vs. x1. Label points ln 1 and ln 2 and show their values. f) Plot G/RT vs x1. g) Does (xi d i) = 0? Should it? Hint: consider the definition of the Gibbs-Duhem equation.

Problem 31 The data tabulated below are experimental values of HE for binary liquid mixtures of 1,2-dichloroethane (1) and dimethyl carbonate (2) at 313.15 K and 1 atm (from R. Francesconi et al. Int. DATA Ser. A, Vol. 25, No. 3, p. 225, 1997). x1 HE (J/mol) x1 HE (J/mol) 0.0426 -23.3 0.5163 -204.2 0.0817 -45.7 0.6156 -191.7 0.1177 -66.5 0.6810 -174.1 0.1510 -86.6 0.7621 -141.0 0.2107 -118.2 0.8181 -116.8 0.2624 -144.6 0.8650 -85.6 0.3472 -176.6 0.9276 -43.5 0.4158 -195.7 0.9624 -22.6 a) Determine from the data numerical values of the parameters a, b, and c in the correlating equation:
HE = x1 x2 (a + b x1 + c x12)

b) c) d) e)

(Hint: consider plotting HE/(x1x2) vs. x1 as a way to determine values of a, b, and c.) Determine the minimum value of HE from the results in part a). At what value of x1 does this occur? Determine expressions for H 1E and H 2E from the results of part a). Prepare a plot of H 1E and H 2E vs. x1 and discuss its features. Plot H vs. x1. What is the relationship between H and HE? Determine values of HE, H 1E , and H 2E for x1 = 0 and x1 = 1. For cases where HE = 0 and either H 1E or H 2E 0, explain how HE can equal 0 while either H 1E or H 2E do not.

Problem 32. Steam undergoes an isothermal change in state from 9000 kPa and 400 C to 300 kPa and 400 C. Determine using steam tables, the ratio of the fugacity in the final state to that in the initial state. (Hint: this question requires only a little bit of calculation, so think first about how to connect fugacities (or rather, fugacity ratios) given the type of data in a steam table.)
