Introductory Chemcal Engneerng Thermodynamcs Chapter 9 - Introducton to Multcomponent Systems By J.R. Ellott and C.T. Lra
INTRODUCTION TO MULTICOMPONENT SYSTEMS The prmary dfference between pure and multcomponent systems s that we must now consder the mpacts of changng the composton on the Gbbs energy. Beyond that, the Gbbs energy must stll be mnmzed, the calculus of classcal thermodynamcs must be appled, the fugactes of the components n the phases must be equal, and, n general, the problem s pedagogcally the same as the phase equlbrum problem for pure components. The computatonal methodology gets more complcated because there s more to keep track of. And the best choce of "equaton of state" can change qute a bt dependng on the nature of the soluton. In ths context, "equaton of state" refers to any model equaton for the thermodynamc propertes of mxtures. But computatons and equaton of state development should not seem unfamlar at ths stage n the course. eg. du(t,p,n) = ( U/ P)T,ndP + ( U/ T)P,n dt + Σ ( U/ n )P,T,n j dn eg. dg(t,p,n) = ( G/ P)T,ndP + ( G/ T)P,n dt + Σ ( G/ n )P,T,n j dn At constant moles of materal, the mxture must follow the same constrants as any other flud. That s, we only have two state varables left f we keep the composton constant. ( G/ P)T,n = V and ( G/ T)p,n = -S ; Fundamental propertes therefore dg = VdP - SdT + Σ ( G/ n )T,P,n j dn µ ( G/ n )T,P,n j "chemcal potental" Ellott and Lra: Chapter 9 - Introducton to Multcomponent Systems Slde 1
Equlbrum Constrant: equalty of chemcal potentals dg = 0 = Σ µ dn equlbrum, constant T and P Defne system of two components (eg. EtOH+H2O) between two phases (eg. vapor and lqud). µ L 1 dn L 1 + µ L 2 dn L 2 + µ V 1 dn V 1 + µ V V 2 dn2 = 0 but f component 1 leaves the lqud phase then t must enter the vapor phase (and smlarly for component 2). dn L = dn V and dn L = dn V 1 1 2 2 V V V V L V µ 1 µ 1 dn 1 + µ 2 µ 2 dn2 = ( ) ( ) 0 Therefore, V L V L µ 1 = µ 1 and µ 2 = µ 2.

Equlbrum Constrant: equalty of fugactes Fugacty - "escapng tendency" For a pure flud: ln(f/p) (G-G g )/RT For mxtures, generalze: ln(f/p) (G-G g )/RT to RTln( $ f /P) (µ - µ g ) where $ f fugacty of component n a mxture.

Actvty, Actvty Coeffcent, and Fugacty Coeffcent "Actvty" a = $ f /f Ionc solutons, reactons "Actvty coeffcent" = γ = $ f /(x f ) Low pressure phase equlbra "Fugacty coeffcent" = φ = $ f /(x P) Hgh pressure phase equlbra where f s the value of the fugacty at standard state. The most common standard state s the pure component at the same temperature and pressure as the system of nterest. In that case f = f. Note that the defnng equaton for actvty coeffcent can be rearranged to become an equaton for calculatng the fugacty of a component n a mxture. Ths s the general procedure used for lquds.

IDEAL SOLUTIONS The smplest soluton model s to assume that nteracton energess n the mxture are lke nteracton energes n the pure flud. e.g. 35 Cl 2 mxed wth 37 Cl 2 s s then, H mx = 0 and H Tot = Σ n H As for the entropy change of mxng, the loss of order due to mxng s unavodable s Smx / R = Σ x ln ( x ) Combnng G s s H s mx mx Smx = = + x ln( x ) RT RT R The defnton of fugacty n terms of a change n free energes gves: G n ( µ G ) f mx = = x ln $ RT n RT f G ( µ G ) f mx Thus, for an deal soluton, = x = x ln $ RT RT f $ s f / f = x f$ s = x f Ellott and Lra: Chapter 9 - Introducton to Multcomponent Systems Slde 5
