Abstract
An algorithm is presented for the determination of azeotropes which ma y be formed for fluid mixtures described by standard thermodynamic mod els. It allows both homogeneous and heterogeneous azeotropes to be fou nd, and is not restricted in the number of components or phases which can be considered. Examples are presented of its application to repres entative systems of technological and phenomenological interest.
