Abstract
The conventional phase equilibrium problem is isothermal, isobaric flash (\((T,P,\varvec{z})\) specified). However there are a number of other, state function-based flash problems which are commonly encountered in process simulation. A number of these are given in Table 1.2. The isenthalpic flash problem is useful for adiabatic expansion problems and for steady-state flow simulation. The problem specifications are \((H,P,\varvec{z})\).
