H. Matsuyama et al., Prediction of binary azeotropic temperatures by use of topological and thermodynamic conditions for combinations of azeotropes in ternary systems, KAG KOG RON, 27(4), 2001, pp. 493-496
A method is proposed for predicting the existence of binary azeotropes and
their boiling temperatures by use of topological and thermodynamic conditio
ns for combinations of azeotropes in ternary systems. The method can not on
ly predict boiling temperatures but also give their confidence intervals. I
ts usefulness is demonstrated by predicting azeotropic temperatures of 8 bi
nary systems utilizing 559 sets of ternary azeotropic data.
