Study Notes
Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium (VLE) Introduction
- Phase equilibrium signifies a stable state where multiple phases coexist
- Vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) is a common focus in Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, involving equilibrium between liquid and vapor phases
Equilibrium Criteria
- Temperature equilibrium means all phases share the same temperature: (T^{\alpha} = T^{\beta} = T^{\gamma} =...)
- Pressure equilibrium means all phases share the same pressure: (P^{\alpha} = P^{\beta} = P^{\gamma} =...)
- Chemical Potential Equilibrium implies each species has the same chemical potential across all phases: (\mu_{i}^{\alpha} = \mu_{i}^{\beta} = \mu_{i}^{\gamma} =...), where (\alpha, \beta, \gamma) denote different phases and (i) indicates a specific species
The Phase Rule
- The phase rule, defined by J. Willard Gibbs, relates degrees of freedom, components, and phases at equilibrium
- The formula is: (F = 2 - \pi + N)
- (F) signifies degrees of freedom (independent variables that can change without altering the number of phases)
- (\pi) is the quantity of phases in equilibrium
- (N) is the quantity of components in the system
Understanding the Phase Rule
- Degrees of Freedom ((F)): Intensive variables (temperature, pressure, composition) that can vary independently without changing the number of phases
- Phases ((\pi)): Physically distinct and homogenous parts of the system
- Components ((N)): Minimum count of independent chemical constituents needed to define each phase's composition
Examples
- Single Component System (e.g., Water): At water's triple point, ice, liquid water, and steam coexist
- (N = 1) (water)
- (\pi = 3) (ice, liquid water, steam)
- (F = 2 - 3 + 1 = 0), indicating no degrees of freedom, with fixed temperature and pressure
- Binary System with Vapor and Liquid Phases: Ethanol and water in vapor-liquid equilibrium
- (N = 2) (ethanol and water)
- (\pi = 2) (vapor and liquid)
- (F = 2 - 2 + 2 = 2), meaning two intensive properties can vary independently
Importance
- The phase rule guides the design and operation of chemical engineering separation processes like distillation and crystallization
- It assists in determining conditions to achieve desired separations and purifications

Description
Understanding Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium (VLE), a key concept in Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, involves phases coexisting in a stable state. Equilibrium is achieved when temperature, pressure, and chemical potential are uniform across all phases. The phase rule, defined by J. Willard Gibbs, relates degrees of freedom, components, and phases at equilibrium.
