ABSTRACT
Ziervogel. R.G. and Poling, B.E., 1983. A simple method for constructing phase envelopes for
multicomponent mixtures. Fluid Phase Equilibria, 11: 1277 135.
INTRODUCTION
CALCULATION PROCEDURE
0new= %M - f/(df/de)
where 6, the iteration variable, is T or P. For bubble points,
f= Cx,K, - 1
and
df/de = &;(dK,/dt’)
f=b,/K,- 1
and
df/de = - c (.w’4%%‘d~)
Other functions, such as f = In Xx; K, , possess superior convergence char-
acteristics at low pressures (King, 1980). The behavior of this type of
function in the retrograde and critical regions has not been evaluated in this
study. Analytic expressions for dK,/d8 were obtained using a procedure
similar to that described by Shah and Bishnoi (1978).

iteration variable 0 must be P ( /? i 2) and where 0 must be T (/3 > 20). In other regions, 0
may be either P or T (/3 = Id(ln P)/d(ln T)I).

in six iterations or less. The convergence criterion was that the change in 8
had to be less than 0.001 K (or atm.).
Construction of the phase envelope identifies the cricondentherm,
cricondenbar and critical point. These points can be determined to a desired
accuracy either by interpolation or by repeating the calculations with smaller
increments of the iteration variable. The critical points are located by the
intersection of the dew- and bubble-point curves, with points being calcu-
lated on both sides of the critical point for both curves (Michelsen, 1980).
Points of maximum temperature and pressure are located more easily, as the
points where /3 passes through infinity and zero, respectively.
