The unit allows easy on-line determination of the thermal effect and calculation of heat transfer coefficients and heat capacities. Construction elements are standard, low cost, and high quality. Temperature control is achieved by a heating-cooling loop integrated to the reactor jacket and a cascade control procedure. An important feature of the equipment is the integration of the data acquisition system with the supervisory control system that allows the capability of an advanced strategy for process control and data acquisition. The capability of the reaction system is demonstrated for the microemulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate, by the use of batch and isothermal operational modes. The course of the reaction is followed on-line by the temperature variation of the jacket. Procedures are described for the calibration of the unit. The reactor developed is versatile, is easy to configure and extend, is low cost, and can compete advantageously with commercial reactor units such as the Mettler RC1.

According to the experimental results, the systems exhibit slight positive deviations from ideal behavior and no azeotrope is present. The VLE data have been correlated with the mole fraction using the Redlich-Kister, Wilson, NRTL, UNIQUAC, and Tamir relations. These models, in addition to UNIFAC, allow good prediction of the VLE properties of the ternary system from those of the pertinent binary systems.

The unique evidence about the phenomenon is the experimental VLE results for the benzene-hexafluorobenzene system, which exhibits two simultaneous azeotropes. The purpose of this work is to make a thermodynamical analysis of polyazeotropy at low pressures and to establish the necessary and sufficient conditions that provoke it. The evolution of polyazeotropes with temperature and pressure is explained, and the criteria to predict azeotropic behavior from minimal information are developed. This study also delivers some important results about the possibility of predicting polyazeotropy using classical G E models and about estimation of the parameters for excess energy models from activity coefficients at infinite dilution, in particular, when this procedure generates changes of concavity for the G E function.
