13 Ascend model of the Rachford-Rice equation described by King.
14 -- Separation Process. Chemical Engineering series. 2nd. Edition, McGraw-
15 Hill, 77-79, 1980 --. The problem consists in a simple flash calculation
16 performed by solving the Rachford-Rice equation. There is a disjunctive
17 statement which extends the use of that equation for cases in which the
18 system has only one phase (liquid or vapor). That is, this model not only
19 copes with the liquid-vapor equilibrium case. The resulting system of
20 equations can be solved with the ascend conditional solver CMSlv.

22 This model requires:
23 "system.a4l"
24 "atoms.a4l"
