Abstract

The coupled Potts-Ising models of Walker and Vause, which successfully describe closed-loop phase diagrams in hydrogen-bonding mixtures, are generalized to encompass the vapor phase, and are studied using position-space renormalization-group techniques. Global phase diagrams are generated, exhibiting such features as miscibility-immiscibility criticality, liquid-vapor critical points, critical end points, and bicritical and tricritical points. In addition, new types of phase diagrams are found, involving upper and lower azeotropes, for example, which are expected to be physically realizable in experimental systems.
