Abstract

A phase-stability approach to constructing phase diagrams is demonstrated for binary and ternary mixtures. This is an alternative to flash-calculation approaches, which tend to produce non-unique solutions. The new approach utilizes a recently proposed tangent-plane method coupled with an interval Newton algorithm.
