This Demonstration shows plots of the Ponchon–Savarit diagram (i.e., and
) for a methanol-water mixture at user-set values of the total pressure,
. In addition, the tie lines or isotherms are shown in green. The data obtained in our simulation, for
, agrees very well with those given in Henley and Seader's classic textbook [1], which are shown by red dots. The vapor-liquid equilibrium data is also plotted in a separate diagram.
