Abstract | Robust and fast methods for chemical or multiphase equilibrium calculation are routinely needed by chemical-process engineers working on sizing or simulation aspects. Yet, while industrial applications essentially require calculation tools capable of discriminating between stable and nonstable states and converging to nontrivial solutions, students are often introduced to the simplest and less efficient equilibrium-calculation methods. In this article, the Gibbs energy minimization technique is presented as a robust alternative way to perform phase-equilibrium calculations and is applied to the determination of 2-fluid phase equilibria in low-pressure binary systems. It is carefully explained how the combination of this technique with an efficient quasi-global minimization method makes it possible to derive a robust PT-flash algorithm. In the frame of project-based learning devoted to develop a tool for building complex phase diagrams, this approach was successfully tested with a group of 100 students. (As Provided). |
