Siddiqsh,

Check out this on-line calculator:

Hi Siddiqsh,

You may like to try it by hand using the classic DePriester Charts. It may be approximate, but I really recommend that you try it by hand.

I have attached two diagrams for your reference.

Have fun!

dear siddiqsh,

please look up the chapter dealing with non-ideal VLE in any standard chemical engineering thermodynamics textbook, like Van Ness et. al. for example.

i think you'd learn alot more if you actually went to the library and do some looking up before coming here asking to be spoon-fed.

Hi ,
If I'm right you can found all the info in Process heat transfer from KERN and Perry's chemical handbook.
