Molecular simulation of multicomponent reaction and phase equilibria in MTBE ternary system
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Reaction and phase equilibria in the isobutene + methanol + MTBE ternary system were studied using the reaction‐ensemble Monte Carlo (REMC) simulation method. The system was modeled at the molecular level by an OPLS force field. No adjustable binary cross‐interaction parameters or mixture data of any kind were used in the simulation model, and only vapor‐pressure data for the pure components was required as input. The REMC method also computes excess internal energies and molar volumes as a biproduct of the simulations. Both the nonreacting and reacting ternary systems were considered over the temperature range of practical interest at 5 bar. Results are compared with the calculations using two conventional thermodynamic approaches: the Wilson and UNIFAC free‐energy models for the liquid phase, together with a truncated virial equation of state for the gas phase in both cases. Computer simulation results were similar to those of the thermodynamic approaches, and they are arguably more accurate.

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.
