Problem: Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium Calculation

The problem aims to develop a system for vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) calculations by integrating input validation, enhanced k-value computation using the Antoine equation with corrections and refinement, vapor fraction solving via numerical methods, and phase composition determination to produce accurate, stable results for chemical engineering separation applications.

Background: ### Industry Background for VLE Flash Calculation Functions
These three functions form a core workflow for **Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium (VLE) Flash Calculation**, a foundational process in chemical engineering used to design distillation columns, phase separators, and other separation unit operations.

#### 1. `calculate_k_values`: Equilibrium Ratio (K-Value) Calculation
- **Industry Context**: The equilibrium ratio \( k_i = \frac{y_i}{x_i} \) (ratio of component \( i \)'s vapor-phase mole fraction to liquid-phase mole fraction) is a critical parameter for defining phase equilibrium. For ideal systems, \( k_i = \frac{p_i^{sat}}{P} \), where \( p_i^{sat} \) is the component’s saturated vapor pressure at system temperature, and \( P \) is the total system pressure.
- **Enhanced Antoine Equation**: The standard Antoine equation \( \log_{10}(p_i^{sat}) = A - \frac{B}{T+C} \) is extended here to improve accuracy:
  - **Second-Order Temperature Correction**: Adds \( -\frac{0.01B}{(T+C)^2} \) to refine predictions outside the base Antoine temperature range.
  - **Pressure Correction**: Incorporates \( 0.001 \times \log\left(\frac{P}{760}\right) \) to account for non-ideal system behavior at non-atmospheric pressures.
  - **Iterative Refinement**: Recomputes \( p_i^{sat} = k_i \times P \) and adjusts \( k_i \) iteratively to address composition-dependent K-values in non-ideal systems.
- **Validation & Stability**: Enforces valid input ranges (e.g., pressure > 1e-12 to avoid numerical underflow), checks that temperature falls within each component’s valid Antoine constant range (defaults to absolute zero to 1000K if `T_min`/`T_max` are unset), and uses logarithmic transformations to prevent overflow/underflow during calculations.
- **Vectorization**: Leverages NumPy vector operations to efficiently handle multi-component systems.

#### 2. `solve_vapor_fraction`: Rachford-Rice Equation Solver
- **Industry Context**: This function solves the **Rachford-Rice Equation** \( \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{z_i(k_i - 1)}{1 + \beta(k_i - 1)} = 0 \), where \( z_i \) is the feed mole fraction of component \( i \), and \( \beta \) is the vapor phase fraction (moles of vapor per mole of feed). This equation is the core of isothermal flash calculations.
- **Numerical Optimization Methods**:
  - **Quasi-Newton (Broyden’s) Method**: Approximates the Jacobian using historical iteration data, reducing computational cost compared to full Newton-Raphson for multi-component systems.
  - **Armijo Line Search**: Ensures iterative steps reduce residual error, preventing divergence in ill-conditioned systems (globalizes convergence).
  - **Aitken Acceleration**: Speeds up convergence by correcting iterative updates, particularly effective for systems with slow linear convergence.
  - **Initialization**: Uses \( \beta = 0.5 \) as a robust initial guess, with the first iteration relying on the exact Newton-Raphson derivative for stability.
- **Input Handling**: Normalizes feed compositions to sum to exactly 1 for numerical stability, validates that \( z_i \) are non-negative, \( k_i \) are positive, and input lengths match.

#### 3. `calculate_phase_compositions`: Equilibrium Phase Composition Calculation
- **Industry Context**: After solving for \( \beta \), this computes equilibrium liquid (\( x_i \)) and vapor (\( y_i \)) compositions using Rachford-Rice-derived relationships: \( x_i = \frac{z_i}{1 + \beta(k_i - 1)} \) and \( y_i = k_i x_i \). These compositions are used to size separation equipment and optimize process conditions.
- **Numerical Robustness**:
  - **Division-by-Zero Protection**: Uses complex128 arrays and conditional logic to replace invalid division results with feed compositions when \( 1 + \beta(k_i - 1) \approx 0 \).
  - **Normalization**: Adjusts \( x_i \) and \( y_i \) to sum to 1, as mole fractions must represent valid compositional values.
  - **Real-Number Conversion**: Converts results back to float64 if imaginary parts are negligible (addresses numerical precision errors, as real-world phase compositions are always real-valued).
- **Multi-Component Support**: Handles arbitrary numbers of components via vectorized operations, ensuring consistency across large systems.

Input/Output: The problem receives temperature (int/float), pressure (positive float >1e-12), antoine_constants (list of dictionaries with keys A, B, C and optional T_min, T_max), z_feed (list of non-negative values summing to approximately 1), and optional tol (float, default 1e-6) and max_iter (int, default 100). It first computes k_values (list of floats) via an enhanced Antoine equation with input validation, second-order temperature correction, pressure correction, and iterative refinement. Next, it calculates beta (vapor fraction, float) using Broyden's method with Newton-Raphson initialization, Armijo line search, and Aitken acceleration, including z_feed normalization. Finally, it generates liquid phase composition x (list) and vapor phase composition y (list) using the denominator 1+beta*(k-1), handling tiny denominators, normalizing sums to ~1, and converting to real values if imaginary parts are negligible. The outputs are k_values, beta, x, and y, with each dependent on prior results.
