Equilibrium thermodynamic properties of two-component and two phase mixtures

Abstract: We present general calculations allowing to express the thermodynamical coefficients and thermophysical properties (compressibility, thermal coefficients and heat capacities) of a material composed of a mixture of two constituents or phases, regardless of the equations of state considered for each of the constituant or for the mixture. We consider mixtures under complete thermodynamical equilibrium, either with mass exchange between the two constituents (phase change), such as an oil and gas mixture (black-oil) and water-vapor system or with two immiscible phases, such as air and water mixtures (foam).
