Nomenclature for Phase Diagrams with Particular Reference to Vapour-Liquid and Liquid-Liquid Equlibiria

(Technical report)

Andreas Bolz, Ulrich K. Deiters, Cor J. Peters, and Theo W. de Loos

Abstract: The phase diagrams of binary fluid mixtures are classified with regard to the topology of their critical curves and three-phase curves. A new nomenclature for the phase diagram classes is proposed, which can be applied to the previously known as well as to recently discovered phase diagram classes. The class names of the new nomenclature are systematic and descriptive; the (P,T) projection of a binary fluid phase diagram can always be constructed qualitatively from the class name.
