find_new_xi(P, T, phiv, yi, Eos, density_opts={}, bounds=(0.001, 0.999), npoints=30, **kwargs)[source]

Search liquid mole fraction combinations for a new estimate that produces a liquid density.

Parameters:

  • P (float) – [Pa] Pressure of the system

  • T (float) – [K] Temperature of the system

  • phiv (float) – Fugacity coefficient of vapor at system pressure

  • yi (numpy.ndarray) – Vapor mole fraction of each component, sum(yi) should equal 1.0

  • Eos (obj) – An instance of the defined EOS class to be used in thermodynamic computations.

  • density_opts (dict, Optional, default={}) – Dictionary of options used in calculating pressure vs. specific volume in pressure_vs_volume_arrays()

  • bounds (tuple, Optional, default=(0.001, 0.999)) – These bounds dictate the lower and upper boundary for the first component in a binary system.

  • npoints (float, Optional, default=30) – Number of points to test between the bounds.

Returns:

xi – Vapor mole fraction of each component, sum(yi) should equal 1.0

Return type:

numpy.ndarray
