Components that can exist in the solid phase are identified in the Component Phase Selection Window as Solid, Liquid-Solid or Vapor-Liquid-Solid. They may be Molecular or Non-molecular Components.
Molecular weights are entered in the Fixed Properties Window.
By default, all non-library components are Vapor-liquid. Solid non-library components must be specified in the Component Phase Selection Window. Solid library components default to the correct phase.
The table below shows what pure component property data are required for Solid components.
