T=400K=(400273.15)°C=126.85°C

Write the expression of the vapor pressure using Antoine equation.

Psat=10[ABC+T(°C)]        (15)

Refer Appendix E, “Antoine Equations”; obtain the following properties for component 1 and 2 as in Table (1).

ParametersPhenol
A7.1330
B1516.79
C174.95

Substitute 126.85°C for T, 7.1330 for A, 1516.79 for B, and 174.95 for C in Equation (15).

Psat=10[7.13301516.79174.95+126.85]=128mmHg(0.00133bar1mmHg)=0.171bar

Thus, the best estimate of vapor pressure at temperature of 400K is 0.171bar.

Assume ideal gas behavior, as the obtained value of pressure is less,

fsat=Psat

Substitute 0.171bar for Psat.

fsat=0.171bar
