In vapor-liquid equilibria, it is relatively easy to start the iteration because assumption of ideal behavior (Raoult s law) provides a reasonable zeroth approximation. By contrast, there is no obvious corresponding method to start the iteration calculation for liquid-liquid equilibria. Further, when two liquid phases are present, we must calculate for each component activity coefficients in two phases since these are often strongly nonlinear functions of compositions, liquid-liquid equilibrium calculations are highly sensitive to small changes in composition. In vapor-liquid equilibria at modest pressures, this sensitivity is lower because vapor-phase fugacity coefficients are usually close to unity and only weak functions of composition. For liquid-liquid equilibria, it is therefore more difficult to construct a numerical iteration procedure that converges both rapidly and consistently. 

For liquid-liquid separations, the basic Newton-Raphson iteration for a is converged for equilibrium ratios (K ) determined at the previous composition estimate. (It helps, and costs very little, to converge this iteration quite tightly.) Then, using new compositions from this converged inner iteration loop, new values for equilibrium ratios are obtained. This procedure is applied directly for the first three iterations of composition. If convergence has not occurred after three iterations, the mole fractions of all components in both phases are accelerated linearly with the deviation function... 

As the feed composition approaches a plait point, the rate of convergence of the calculation procedure is markedly reduced. Typically, 10 to 20 iterations are required, as shown in Cases 2 and 6 for ternary type-I systems. Very near a plait point, convergence can be extremely slow, requiring 50 iterations or more. ELIPS checks for these situations, terminates without a solution, and returns an error flag (ERR=7) to avoid unwarranted computational effort. This is not a significant disadvantage since liquid-liquid separations are not intentionally conducted near plait points. 

The calculational procedure employed in BLIPS, when used with the particular initial phase-composition estimated included in the subroutine, has converged satisfactorily for all systems we have encountered (except very near plait points as noted). 

The subroutine is well suited to the typical problems of liquid-liquid separation calculations wehre good estimates of equilibrium phase compositions are not available. However, if very good initial estimates of conjugate-phase compositions are available h. priori, more effective procedures, with second-order convergence, can probably be developed for special applications such as tracing the entire boundary of a two-phase region. 

If maltenes are subjected to liquid chromatography (see 2.1.2.4) the components eluted by the more polar solvents are called resins. Their composition, once again, depends on the procedure used. 

An important application of this type of analysis is in the determination of the calculated cetane index. The procedure is as follows the cetane number is measured using the standard CFR engine method for a large number of gas oil samples covering a wide range of chemical compositions. It was shown that this measured number is a linear combination of chemical family concentrations as determined by the D 2425 method. An example of the correlation obtained is given in Figure 3.3. 

This procedure can be easily simulated by a program if the composition of the petroleum material and the pure hydrocarbons or petroleum fractions composing the sample are known. Air can be considered as nitrogen without changing the results.

Physically, this is a difficult procedure Co justify. On planes intermediate between ab and cd Che compositions at corresponding points of each of the three paths will not be the same, so there should be lateral fluxes introduced by these lateral composition gradients--it is not consistent to assume that Che directions of motion are confined to vertical paths, as implied by the diagram. 

Before attempting to answer this question, let us first summarize the procedure of section 11.3 in a slightly modified form. Equations (11.20) and (11.21) provide a set of simultaneous ordinary differential equations to determine the pressure and the composition, represented by mole fractions Xi,..,Xn in terms of the dummy variable. If at least one of the x s varies monotonically with X, so that its derivative never vanishes, we may use this x in place of X as an Independent variable. Without loss of generality this x may be labelled x, so we may divide equation (11.20) and each equation (11.21) for r = 2,...,n-l, by equation (11.21)... 

The object of this part of the project is to determine the energy ("enthalpy) levels in each the three con formers and so to determine the composition of the equilibrium conformational mixture. That having been done for the cis isomer, the procedure is repeated for the trans isomer. 

An analytical procedure is often tested on materials of known composition. These materials may be pure substances, standard samples, or materials analyzed by some other more accurate method. Repeated determinations on a known material furnish data for both an estimate of the precision and a test for the presence of a constant error in the results. The standard deviation is found from Equation 12 (with the known composition replacing /x). A calculated value for t (Eq. 14) in excess of the appropriate value in Table 2.27 is interpreted as evidence of the presence of a constant error at the indicated level of significance. 

Sometimes just one determination is available on each of several known materials similar in composition. A single determination by each of two procedures (or two analysts) on a series of material may be used to test for a relative bias between the two methods, as in Example 2.4. Of course, the average difference does not throw any light on which procedure has the larger constant error. It only supplies a test as to whether the two procedures are in disagreement.
