20 johnpye 1257 The following the conditional model is discussed in the PhD thesis of
21     Vicente Rico-Ramirez,

24 johnpye 1257 Ascend model of the Rachford-Rice equation described by
25    
26     King, Separation Process. Chemical Engineering series. 2nd. Edition,
27     McGraw-Hill, 77-79, 1980
28    
29     The problem consists in a simple flash calculation
30     performed by solving the Rachford-Rice equation. There is a disjunctive
31     statement which extends the use of that equation for cases in which the
32     system has only one phase (liquid or vapor). That is, this model not only
33     copes with the liquid-vapor equilibrium case. The resulting system of
34     equations can be solved with the ascend conditional solver CMSlv.
