Configure a Ternary Phase Diagram

You can configure a Ternary Phase Diagram so that it uses the Fluid Type, components, temperature, and pressure of interest. You can also change the appearance of the Ternary Phase Diagram on the graph.

Configure a Ternary Phase Diagram

1. On the Canvas, double-click the Ternary Phase Diagram to open it.

   The Ternary Phase Diagram appears with an expanded configuration area.

2. Expand the General section.

3. In the Title box, enter the title of the graph.

   Note: The title of the graph always includes information related to the conditions under which AVEVA Process Simulation calculates the data. This information includes the three components that comprise the ternary system and the value of the constant pressure.

4. Specify the fluid that you want to view data for by doing one of the following:

   • In the Fluid Type list, select the Fluid Type.

   • From the Model Library, drag a Fluid Type onto the Ternary Phase Diagram on the Canvas.

   After you select the Fluid Type, AVEVA Process Simulation uses property data from the Fluid Type to initialize the Ternary Phase Diagram configuration.

5. Expand the Configure section if it is not already visible.

6. In the First Component list, select the first component in the ternary system.

7. In the Second Component list, select the second component in the ternary system.

8. In the Third Component list, select the third component in the ternary system.

9. In the Calculation Option list, select one of the following options:

   • Isothermal: AVEVA Process Simulation calculates all data points at the specified constant temperature and pressure.

   • BubblePointT: AVEVA Process Simulation calculates all data points at the bubble point and at the specified constant pressure.

   The default selection is Isothermal.

10. If you want to hide any azeotropes on the diagram, clear the Azeotropes checkbox.

11. If you want to hide the liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) tie lines on the diagram, clear the LLE tie lines checkbox.
