ABSTRACT

Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for three binary systems (PM + PMA, MeAc + PM and MeOH + PMA) at 101.3 kPa were measured in a double circulating still of modified Othmer type. The thermodynamic consistency of the experimental data was checked by Herington method. The experimental data were correlated with NRTL and Wilson models. The binary interaction parameters of both models have been obtained by simplex method. The root mean square deviations (RMSD) for the vapor phase fraction and the boiling temperature are less than 0.01 and 0.5 K, respectively. The results indicates that the calculated values by NRTL and Wilson models are in good agreement with the experimental data and no azeotropic behavior have been found in the three binary systems. The research findings would provide basic data for the design and analysis of distillation process.
