Known variables
F , Zi , T , and P
We can define = V /F , and if n =number of components:
Unknown variables
, xi , and yi
Number of unknown variables= 2n+1
If we know ki s, we can find unknown variables by solving following

From PR EOS we get 3 roots for Liquid phase parameters and 3 roots for
Vapor phase parameters:
Z L = The smallest root of PR equation from the liquid phase parameters
Z V = The largest root of PR equation from the vapour phase parameter
