Isobaric Vapor Liquid Equilibrium of Tertiary Mixture of Hexane-Cyclohexane-Methyl t-butyl ether and Residue Curve Mapping

Shraddha Motegaonkar, Rahul Kulkarni, Shambala Shinde

Abstract: Isobaric or isothermal Vapor-liquid equilibrium data of any tertiary or quaternary systems may be evaluated when they are calculated as activity coefficients. Residual curve mapping is a triangular diagram which is used to describe the relationship between ternary systems. The VLE of this ternary system has evaluated experimentally by using Othmer still at 101.3 kPa. This ternary system does not form any azeotrope.
