Evaluation of the adequacy of phase equilibria modeling based on various sets of experimental data by A. V. Frolkova, V. G. Fertikova, E. V. Rytova, A. K. Frolkova

“…The results indicate that to study systems containing components with similar properties, it is necessary to improve the description quality of the available data sets (the relative error should not exceed 1.5%).Conclusions. The reproduction of the thermodynamic features of various manifolds in the composition simplex obtained by processing direct VLE data can be used to supplement the adequacy of the model. …”
