Concluding Remarksn For completely miscible systems
u φ-φ method« Equations of State with proper mixing rules
u γ-φ method« φ: Two-term virial equation« γ: Wilson, NRTL or UNIQUAC model
n For partially miscible systemsu γ-φ method
« φ: Two-term virial equation« γ: NRTL or UNIQUAC model
n Vapor pressure data (or Antoine constants) are essentially needed for each constituent.
n For type-1 LLE systems, ternary LLE data are important to determine model parameters.
n For type-2 LLE systems, binary LLE data are crucial to determine model parameters.
