Abstract
The authors are engaged in an extensive study of liquid-liquid-vapor (L1-L2-V) behavior in ternary systems. The systems under study are well-defined mixtures of materials commonly encountered in the processing of liquefied natural gas (LNG). It is hoped that a fuller understanding of these systems will provide an opportunity for designing more efficient processing schemes.
