Abstract

As we saw in Chap. 11, the classical theory proved to be successful for fairly ideal mixtures. Meanwhile, for non-ideal mixtures BCNT can be sufficiently in error [1–4] and even lead to unphysical results as in the case of water-alcohol systems.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note in this respect, that \(\overline{{n^s_a}}(n_a)\) is always positive, while the Gibbs excess numbers \(n_i^\mathrm{exc }\) can be both positive and negative.
