Abstract

Topical issues related to simulating the equilibrium state of multicomponent heterogeneous systems are addressed. Calculation methods for determining the phase composition of such thermodynamic systems are analyzed. It is shown that the need to determine the coordinates of the conditional extremum of the function, the analytical form of which is usually not known a priori, is one of the main reasons for the difficulty in developing algorithms for the calculation of the equilibrium composition of multicomponent heterogeneous systems.
