USE OF STEFAN TUBE
• This method is suitable when component A is a volatile liquid
and component B is a gas insoluble in A
• The apparatus consists of a vertical glass tube sealed at bottom
and joined to a larger diameter horizontal tube to form a tee
11
USE OF STEFAN TUBE
• The volatile liquid A is taken in the vertical narrow tube and the
gas B is passed through the horizontal tube
• The liquid A evaporates and diffuses through the mixture of A
and B in the vertical tube, reaches the top and is swept away by
the flowing stream of gas B
• Gas B is insoluble in A and it is not diffusing
• The liquid level in vertical tube will drop very slowly with time
and it is noted
• At any time t, the liquid level be at a distance z from the top of
vertical tube, pA1 be the partial pressure of A at surface and pA2
at the top, then,

USE OF STEFAN TUBE
• If at time t=0 the liquid level is at z0 from the top and at time
t’the liquid level is z’, integrating
