Hi!

I was given this mandatory assignment:

A saturated liquid mixture consisting of 50 mole% 2-propanol (1) and 50 mol% 1-propanol
(2) to be separated by distillation into a distillate having a purity of 99.9 mole% of the light
component and a bottoms product having a purity of 99.9% by mole of the heavy component.
Distillation is peforemed at a total pressure of 1 bar.

From laboratory data the Wilson constants a12 & a21 has been determined.

From theese data construct a T,xy diagram and a x,y diagram for the mixture at 1bar.


I'm just stuck guys. Can anyone pls point me in the right direction on how to getting started.

Write the Wilson equation.

Write a general VLE eq.

Then we can help.

The wilson equation is as follows: See attachment


as u can see the parameters are temperature dependent

v1 & v2 are the molar volumnes which i have aswell.
