Question:
Produce the SLE phase diagram for the p-xylene (1) + m-xylene system. Treat the liquid phase as an ideal solution and the solid phase as im miscible. Please plot your phase diagram using the p-xylene as the independent variable. What is the eutectic temperature and compo sitionfrom the model? Compare your work with the experimental data (Jakob et al., 1995). If you were to improve the modeling result through the use of an excess molar Gibbs free energy model, would the activity coefficients for the system need to be greater than or less than 1 to bring the model closer to the experimental data? Please demonstrate how you arrived at your answer. Note that the pure component data you need is available in the reference in this problem statement.
