"In BioSTEAM, mixture properties are estimated as a molar-weighted average of pure-component properties at a reference pressure (1 atm) plus the contribution of non-ideal interactions (i.e., excess properties) estimated by equations of state. For example, the heat capacity of a mixture is computed as:\n",

"BioSTEAM uses the most rigorous correlations available within the database to estimate pure component properties. While thermodynamically inconsistent, it provides more accurate estimates than using equations of state to estimate pure component properties. For thermodynamic consistency, pure component properties need to have the same equation of state. \n",
