Liquid balance - steam for methanol mixing - Benzen using the Peng Robinson and Van-Laar models

Abstract

This paper is related to the procedure for calculating curves dew point and bubble point of a binary system, consisting of the methanol and benzene mixture to 45°C, using the Peng-Robinson cubic equation to calculate the fugacity coefficient of gas i in the mixture, and Van Laar model to calculate the activity coefficient of component i in the liquid mixture. Then a comparison between the theoretical data with the experimental data and later with the commercial simulator Hysys-Aspen, which applies the model of Wilson. The simulation was validated with experimental data,in addition to comparing the results with a commercial simulator.
