2. 100 mol/hr of an ethanol/H₂O mixture containing 10 mol% ethanol is to be produced as the
liquid outlet stream from an isothermal (T-78.15°C) flash unit. The feed stream is 30 mol%
ethanol.
At 78.15°C the liquid mixture of ethanol(1)/water(2) is adequately described by the following van
Laar equations for the activity coefficients:
In Y₁ = A12
A21x2
(A₁
A12X1 + A21x2-
A12X1
In y2 = A21 A₁2x₁ + A₂1x24
A12X1
2
2
A12 = 1.6798
A21 = 0.9227
Assume that the vapor phase behaves as an ideal gas and that the fugacities of pure ethanol and
water are independent of pressure (i.e., that it is appropriate to use modified Raoult's law).
