Thermodynamic analysis of ethanol/water system with the stoichiometric method

An analysis of the chemical equilibrium of ethanol/water system, using the stoichiometric method, has been performed. Intermediate compounds and coke formation are analyzed. Ethanol is completely converted to ethylene and/or acetaldehyde. Taking into account the equilibrium constant values of format...
