What is Equilibirum Vaporization Ratio ?
The Equilibrium vaporization ratio or K value is defined as the ratio of mole fraction of the component in the vapor phase to the mole fraction of the same component in the liquid phase. Generally, the K-value is a function of temperature, pressure and composition (xi and yi). It is even defined as the ratio of fugacity coefficient in the liquid phase to vapor phase. For Ideal Liquid mixtures and Ideal gas, the k-value is the ratio of equilibrium vapor pressure to total pressure, i.e. the k-value is independent of composition. For dilute mixtures, even non-ideal, the k-value is a function of henry's constant.
How to Calculate Equilibrium Vaporization Ratio for Less Volatile Component?
Equilibrium Vaporization Ratio for Less Volatile Component calculator uses Equilibrium Vaporization Ratio of LVC = Mole Fraction of LVC in Vapor Phase/Mole Fraction of LVC in Liquid Phase to calculate the Equilibrium Vaporization Ratio of LVC, The Equilibrium Vaporization Ratio for Less Volatile Component formula is defined as the ratio of less volatile component in the vapor to the same in liquid.
