E.4
Phase equilibrium
There are a number of sources for phase equilibrium data and computational methods
(see E4.1, below). Most of the material focuses on vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) since
this information is used extensively for distillation, absorption, and stripping. The most
complete VLE literature is a series of topics by Hala et al . (1967, 1968). Additional
information can be found in Hirata et al . (1975) and Gmehling et al . (1979). For light
hydrocarbon systems, the Natural Gas Processors Association has published a data book
(1972). A very useful and extensive source, including solid-liquid and liquid-liquid as
well as VLE information, has been written by Walas (1985). This topic contains both
source data and methodology and contains sample calculations.
When no data are available, there are simulation packages available that can provide
estimates. ASPEN and HYSYS are two popular ones. The thermodynamics topic by
Sandler (1989) contains a diskette that can be used for phase equilibrium calculations.
Additional texts are Prausnitz et al . (1980), Prausnitz et al . (1986), and Reid et al . (1987).
There are some published articles that contain data and calculation procedures: Yaws
et al . (1990, 1993, 1995).
