Stability criteria for a polydisperse system

Abstract

Stability theory for fluid mixtures is used to calculate the spinodal and the critical locus for a system containing one discrete light component and one continuously distributed heavy These results are consistent with experimental critical-locus data for C 1 -C 3 (Type I) and those for C 1 -C 6 (Type V).
