The PT diagram for Pure Substance will see Vapour Liquid Equilibrium (VLE) as a set of points along a smooth curve ending up with a Critical Point
A state of Thermodynamic equilibrium between the liquid and gas state of a Fluid Mixture.
The PT diagram for Pure Substance will see Vapour Liquid Equilibrium (VLE) as a set of points along a smooth curve ending up with a Critical Point (see Fig. 1).
The PT diagram for Fluid Mixture will see Vapour Liquid Equilibrium (VLE) as a closed area with an apex of Pseudo-Critical Point (see Fig. 2).
