Phase diagrams predicting

Black oils consist of a wide variety of chemical species including large, heavy, nonvolatile molecules. The phase diagram predictably covers a wide temperature range. The critical point is well up the slope of the phase envelope.

Until recently, one might have considered this immense collection of experimental information as one of the major experimentally gathered, but theoretically unexplained, bodies of data in all of the chemical sciences. As shown above, however, in recent years major progress has been made on the theory of alloys and in estabhshing empirical or semiempirical correlations for alloy phase formation this, in turn, has benefited phase diagram prediction, which remains an important goal of computational alloy theory. Two principal approaches exist, which are presently in the process of slow convergence.

The weak-segregation phase diagram predicted by the FH theory for N = lO is compared to the Leibler mean-field diagram in Fig. 13-11. In the FH theory, at / = 0.5, the ordering transition to a lamellar phase occurs when... 

Fig. 49. Schematic phase diagrams predicted for the antiferromagnetic order at the surfaces of isotropic Heisenberg magnets (n = 3, upper part) and of XY magnets (n = 2), lower part. Phases occurring are bulk paramagnetic (BP), bulk ferromagnetic (BP), surface paramagnetic (A P), surface ferromagnetic (A P), surface antifcrromagnctic (SAF) and surface spin flop (iSSF). From Binder and Landau (1985).

The resulting phase diagram is shown in Fig. 12. We can identify a type of phase diagram predicted from the theory for intermediate stiffnesses. We do not see a coexistence between two nematic states as was predicted for very large stiffness and also no liquid-gas coexistence a lower densities. The liquid-gas coexistence point seems to be buried within the two-phase region of the isotropic-nematic transition and we have indications [23] that it may become observable when we slightly reduce the intrinsic chain stiflhiess. 

Figure 1 Diblock copolymers are predicted to self-assemble according to a phase diagram predicted by self-consistent mean field theory (a) and proven experimentally (b). A variety of constant-radius geometries are observed as a function of relative lengths of the two blocks (c). (Reproduced from Ref. 31. American Institute of Physics, 1999.)...

ASD including the use of in silico solubility parameter (5) calculation (Ghebremeskel et al. 2007), Flory-Huggins (F-H) interaction parameter calculation (Marsac et al. 2006b Zhao et al. 2011), drug-polymer thermodynamic phase diagrams prediction (Tian et al. 2013), crystallization inhibition with molecular dynamic calculation (Pajula et al. 2012), etc. However, in spite of their use and popularity, these theoretical methods have limitations and lack predictability, reliability, and thereby have limited utility.

The formation of extended solid solutions changes the geometry of phase diagrams significantly. Therefore, prediction of the formability of extended solid solutions is also an important step of the phase diagram prediction or assessment work.
