Abstract
Correlation equations for expressing vapor-liquid equilibria data as a function of liquid composition: the P-X (eqns 4-6), T-X (eqn 7) and Y-X (eqns 14-18), have been tested successfully. On the basis of the new correlations, equations are derived for predicting azeotropic behaviour of multicomponent mixtures and the kind of azeotrope (minimum, maximum and saddle type). Consequently, new ternary azcotropes were predicted. It was found that direct correlation of intensive properties of mixtures and vapor equilibria data is always much more efficient than a correlation based on complete information.
