The LL segment is the steep one that originates at the blue triangle (the LLV point). ... At the location of the blue triangle, the saturated phase is a liquid at equilibrium with two incipient phases: a liquid phase (to the right of ...
As another example of phase equilibrium engineering, the heat integration in a complex process is solved by the application of the Gibbs phase rule to the LLV equilibria of a ternary mixture.

This book changes the focus from the use of thermodynamics relationships to compute phase equilibria to the design and control of the phase conditions that a process needs.
Phase diagrams are essential tools for phase equilibrium engineering as they provide valuable hints to understand the process and to assess the feasible and optimum operating regions.
Phase equilibrium and property predictions with thermodynamic models are always required in phase equilibrium engineering. In Chapter 4, predictive, semiempirical equations of state and activity coefficient models are presented.
Highpressure phase behavior in mixtures can be quite complex in comparison to typical vapor–liquid equilibrium at low pressures. This can make some correct calculation results, obtained with the help of thermodynamic models, ...
