Improving Thermodynamic Consistency Among Vapor Pressure, Heat of Vaporization, and Liquid and Ideal Gas Heat Capacities Joseph Wallace Hogge A dissertation submitted to the faculty of Brigham Young University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy W. Vincent Wilding, Chair Thomas A. Knotts Dean Wheeler Thomas H. Fletcher John D. Hedengren Department of Chemical Engineering Brigham Young University Copyright © 2017 Joseph Wallace Hogge All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Improving Thermodynamic Consistency Among Vapor Pressure, Heat of Vaporization, and Liquid and Ideal Gas Heat Capacity Joseph Wallace Hogge Department of Chemical Engineering, BYU Doctor of Philosophy Vapor pressure ( ), heat of vaporization ( ), liquid heat capacity ( ), and ideal gas heat capacity ( ) are important properties for process design and optimization. This work vap Δvap focuses on improving the thermodynamic consistency and accuracy of the aforementioned properties since these can drastically affect the reliability, safety, and profitability of chemical processes.
