03/20/2024: Thanks a lot for all the interest shown. This paper has been one of the most downloaded* during its first 12 months of publication in AIChE Journal (*Among work published in an issue between 1 January 2022 – 31 … Continue reading →

The analysis of residue curve maps is essential to know the VLE behavior of a ternary mixture, the possible existence of distillation boundaries and therefore different distillation regions in the ternary composition diagram, and the corresponding areas where the different … Continue reading →

Similar to previous MatLab Graphical User Interfaces (GUI’s) developed to systematically check the consistency of LLE data correlation results, GMcal_TieLinesLL (v.2.3), or Boundaries_LL_NRTL for the analysis of the miscibility boundaries that the NRTL model present, this GUI, GMcal_TieLinesVL (new version … Continue reading →

In this link: http://rua.ua.es/dspace/handle/10045/51725, it is possible to acces to a very easy to use Graphical User Interface (GMcal_TieLinesLL v.2.3) based on the topological information contained in the Gibbs energy of mixing function, that has been developed for binary and … Continue reading →
