Prediction of azeotropic behaviour by the inversion of functions from the plane to the plane
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Azeotropy is a thermodynamic phenomenon where liquid and vapour coexisting phases have the same composition. In binary mixtures, the azeotropy calculation is represented by a 2 × 2 nonlinear system of algebraic equations with temperature (or pressure) and one molar fraction as unknowns. On rare occasions, this nonlinear system exhibits two solutions, characterizing a double azeotrope. In this work, we calculate double azeotropes with a geometry‐based methodology: the numerical inversion of functions from the plane to the plane. We present results for two mixtures where the double azeotropy phenomenon occurs: the system benzene + hexafluorobenzene and the system 1,1,1,2,3,4,4,5,5,5‐decafluoropentane + oxolane. The persistence of double azeotropes across different pressures is made clear by this global geometric approach. Moreover the vanishing of the existence of a pair of azeotropes is explained by the coalescence of them in just one, as can be easily understood from a global geometric viewpoint presented of the nonlinear function involved. The results indicate that this methodology can be a powerful tool for a better understanding of nonlinear algebraic systems in phase coexistence problems.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
