Abstract

A new algorithm is proposed for determining the equilibrium curve on the basis of the knowledge of Gibbs' energy of N-component system. A known equilibrium composition is used during calculation to estimate the next approximation. The method is also modified for chemical-engineering applications when the composition of coexisting phases to a given overall composition is sought (flash calculations).
