For modeling and simulation of distillation processes, the main information required is the vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data. These are available as discrete values, but for modeling purpose, an analytical function would be more suitable. We developed a simple calculation protocol to obtain a single continuous function for the VLE curve on the entire concentration domain, without using thermodynamic functions. The fitting parameters of binary ethanol-water mixture VLE curve were determined. The methodology is suitable for fitting continuous functions on VLE data of any binary or multicomponent, non-ideal (even azeotropic) mixtures.

Vapor-liquid equilibrium data of hexamethyl disiloxane + ethyl acetate system at 101.3kPa were measured by using double circulating vapor-liquid equilibrium still. The thermodynamic consistency of the VLE data was examined by Herrington method. Experimental data was correlated by NRTL and UNIQUAC parameter models. Both of the models satisfactorily correlated with the VLE data. The result showed that the NRTL model was the most suitable one to represent experimental data satisfactorily and the system had a minimum temperature azeotrope at 350.31 K and the mole azeotropic composition was 0.0330.

The working fluids are crucial for developing the absorption refrigeration system. Our previous work has proposed three novel working pairs, which uses the low-GWP HFCs (R32, R152a and R161) as the refrigerants and the polyethylene-glycol dimethylether solvent DMETEG as the absorbent. To explore the VLE behaviors of HFCs in other longer chain structures of polyethylene-glycol dimethylether solvents, the modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) model was applied for prediction. The previous binary parameters showed large deviations from the experimental data. Then the new binary parameters were obtained by regression. For R32+DMEDEG and R152a/R161+DMETrEG, the prediction ARAD results were reduced from 17.13%, 24.06% and 12.48% to 3.71%, 2.61% and 6.86%, respectively. Finally, the VLE data of R161 + PGDE at the temperatures of 293.15-343.15K were predicted.

The Kojima-Moon-Ochi (KMO) thermodynamic consistency test of vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) measurements for 32 isothermal data sets of binary systems of various complexity was applied using two fitting equations: the Redlich-Kister equation and the Sum of Symmetrical Functions. It was shown that the enhanced reliability of the fitting of the experimental data can change the conclusions drawn on their thermodynamic consistency in those cases of VLE data sets that are estimated to be near the border of consistency.

Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for binary system of water + 2-azido-N,N-dimethylethanamine (DMAZ) was measured at 4 kPa. The results showed an azeotropic point at x1 = 0.985 and T = 302.17 K. The data was correlated with nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL), Wilson and universal quasi-chemical activity coefficient (UNIQUAC) models for the liquid phase. A comparison of the model performances was made using of the criterion of the average absolute deviation, standard deviation and mean standard deviation in boiling-point temperature. The results indicated that the NRTL activity coefficient model satisfactorily correlated the VLE data.

The effect of vapour-phase imperfections and the volumetric behavior of liquid phase on the low-pressure VLE data reduction was investigated. The errors in the vapour-phase composition due to processing experimental data assuming ideal behavior of the vapour phase were evaluated.

Isothermal vapour-liquid equilibrium data at 65, 73 and 80 °C and isobaric ones at 101.3 kPa were measured in the tetrachloromethane-sec-butyl alcohol system. A modified circulation still of the Gillespie type was used for the measurements. Under the conditions of measurement, the system exhibits positive deviations from Raoult's law and minimum boiling-point azeotropes. The experimental data were fitted to a number of correlation equations, the most suitable being the Wilson equation.

Isobaric equilibrium data (P = 101.3 kPa) for the system cyclohexane-acetic acid-propionic acid have been measured by two different analytical techniques. Activity coefficients calculated by simultaneous solving of equations for the chemical and phase equilibria were subjected to a consistency test based on inaccuracies determined from the error propagation law, and were correlated by Wilson’s equation. The activity coefficients measured were compared with those calculated from binary vapour-liquid equilibrium data and with values predicted by the UNIFAC method.
