Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立台灣工業技術學院 === 化學工程技術研究所 === 85 === The subjects of the present study include measurement of vapor-liquid equilibria for the highly asymmetric polar mixtures composed of helium and alkanols,and testing of various equations of state for their applicability these mixtures. Vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data were measured for three binary systems of helium+1-hexanol, helium+1-octanol, and helium+1-decanol at temperatures from 353.45 K to 453.65 K and pressures up to 100 bar by using a semi-flow type apparatus. The solubility of helium in alkanol,as evidence by the experimental results, increases with pressure and temperature, while the saturated gas phase composition (mole fraction) of alkanol component decreases with increasing pressure but increases with increasing temperature. The magnitude ofthe alkanol compositions in the saturated gas phase follows the order of 1-hexanol>1- octanol>1-decanol at a fixed temperature. Henry's constants were also determined from new isothermal VLE data for each binary mixture. Three cubicequations of state (Soave , Peng- Robinson and Patel-Teja) with different mixing rules were applied to correlate tvapor-liquid equilibrium dataof binary mixtures composed of helium with a diversity of heavier compounds.The van derWaals one-fluid mixing rules, with introduction of a second binary interaction constant (kbij) in the mixing rule for equation parameter "b",improved significantly the calculated results overall for any of equationsof state. Howe ver,the study also found that the values of the binary interaction constant kaij) were greater than 1, only the cubic perturbed hard-chain (CPHC) equation of state, which was developed from approximationo the molecular simulations, yielded reasonable results.
