Measurement of vapor pressure of palm oil constituents under vacuum

Vapor pressure is one of the most important properties in chemical process design for unit operations like distillation, extraction an absorption processes. Even though, vapor pressure data for most of the commonly used chemical compounds are available in the literature and the data bank is continuo...
