The systematic study of phase behaviour and the emerging coherence of phenomena

In a remarkable and well known study by Van Konijnenburg and Scott (1980) it was shown that by using the Van der Waals equation and choosing selected molecular parameters, the phase behaviour of most binary systems can be classified within a so-called masterchart according to 5 types, numbered I-V....

Description
Summary:In a remarkable and well known study by Van Konijnenburg and Scott (1980) it was shown that by using the Van der Waals equation and choosing selected molecular parameters, the phase behaviour of most binary systems can be classified within a so-called masterchart according to 5 types, numbered I-V. The study further revealed that phase diagrams which on first sight seemed unrelated, at closer inspection could be transformed into each other by continuous changes in the molecular parameters. One type however, characterized by closed loop liquid-liquid equilibria and indicated as “type VI”, could not be incorporated in the classification scheme.
