Univolatility curves in ternary mixtures: geometry and numerical computation
Abstract
We propose a new non-iterative numerical algorithm allowing computation of all univolatility curves in homogeneous ternary mixtures independently of the presence of the azeotropes. The key point is the concept of generalized univolatility curves in the 3D state space, which allows the main computational part to be reduced to a simple integration of a system of ordinary differential equations.
