Strictly speaking, the convergence pressure of a binary mixture equals the critical pressure of the mixture only if the system temperature coincides with the mixture critical temperature. For multi-component mixtures, furthermore, the convergence pressure depends on both the temperature and the liquid composition of mixture. For convenience, a multicomponent mixture is treated as a pseudobinary mixture in this K-value approach. The pseudobinary mixture consists of a light component, which is the lightest component present in not less than 0.001 mol fraction in the liquid, and a pseudoheavy...

The expression for the diffusion flux, which we need to study the concentration distribution, has a complex form since we are dealing with a multi-component system under a temperature gradient. The diffusion flux of a given component depends in general not only on the concentration gradient of this component, but also on the concentration gradients of other components (the entrainment of one component by the others)6 and on the temperature gradient (thermodiffusion). 

The Arrhenius treatment has been applied to aging studies on rubber (13), to predict the life of a polyester-glass laminate (14), to predict product stability of a thermosetting resin alone and in combination with two additives (15), in permanence tests on paper (16), to multi-component systems in which the principal component is paper (17), and to study the influence of temperature on the relative contributions of the oxygen-independent and oxygen-dependent processes to the total rate of newsprint deterioration (18-20). 

The conventional multi-component glasses contain alkali and alkaline earth ions and frequently also aluminum oxide, boric oxide and other oxide components, depending upon the particular application. They can be remelted and processed at much lower temperatures than quartz. Network-formers also act as a flux, their flux activity increasing with their polarizability. Thus, K2O is a better flux than Li20. 

The model for the NRTL equation (Renon and Prausnitz, 1968) is similar to the Wilson model but includes a non-randomness constant, a,y (=0,0, that is characteristic of the types of components in each binary. In addition to this constant, the equation, which is generalized to multi-component mixtures, utilizes four interaction parameters for each binary a, Uji, bij, and fey,. The parameters b,j and fey, include a temperature dependency similar to the Wilson coefficients. The parameters and a, may be added to improve the ability to represent the effect of temperature. The equation may thus be used either in its three-parameter form or in its five-parameter form. 

The NRTL equation is one of the more successful equations for representing phase equilibrium data, including liquid-liquid equilibrium. It is applicable to multi-component mixtures, which may include non-symmetrical binaries. It also has built-in temperature dependency over moderate ranges. 

The equation, which is generalized to multi-component mixtures, requires pure component data for the van der Waals area and volume parameters, and r. Additionally, the binary interaction parameters (Uj -Uj and (Wy - are also required and are generally determined from binary phase equilibrium data. Temperature dependency is incorporated in the equation, similar to the Wilson and NRTL equations. The UNIQUAC equation is applicable to many classes of components, including mixtures containing considerably dissimilar molecules, and is also applicable to liquid-liquid equilibrium systems. It can represent temperature dependency over moderate ranges but is not necessarily more accurate than simpler equations in spite of its theoretical foundation. 

The experimental results referred to above lead to the conclusion that liquids consist of mixtures of different molecular species. In presence of traces of moisture, internal equilibrium between the different molecular species is established rapidly, and the liquid behaves as a unary system, but in absence of moisture, internal equilibrium is not established (or is established very slowly), and the liquid behaves like a multi-component system, the vapour pressure depending not only on the temperature, but also on the amounts of the different molecular species (pseudo-components) in the liquid. 

Solubility in water is the measure of how much of oil will dissolve in the water column on a molecular basis at a known temperature and pressure. The more polar the compound, the more soluble in water. BTEX compounds are so frequently encountered in ground water in part due to their high water solubility. BTEX solubility in water is dependent on the nature of the multi component mixture, such as gasoline, diesel, or crude oil. The solubility of a constituent within a multicomponent mixture may be orders of magnimde lower than the aqueous solubihty of the pure constituent in water. Oil is a complex mixture of many compounds each of which partitions uniquely between oil and water, therefore different oils have different water solubility. The solubility of oil in water is very low, generally less than 100 parts per million. However, solubility is important because the dissolved oil components are often toxic to aquatic life, especially at higher concentrations. 

The HCToolkit is a set of Perl modules that implement four equations of state, two flash algorithms and a multi-component, multiphase, temperature- and pressure-dependent viscosity prediction. The modules have been successfully run on MS Windows, Mac OSX and Redhat Linux. These modules can be called from another Perl code, or (via an ActiveX interface) from a front-end written in either Visual Basic or a VBA application such as Excel.
