Improvement of Whitson algorithm for chemical/gravity equilibrium calculations to compute compositional gradient in petroleum reservoirs

This work concerns to improve accuracy and convergence speed of Whitson algorithm, applied for calculating compositional changes in petroleum reservoirs. These improvements are implemented by choosing the proper calculated value of the parameter λ and using the more proper way to choose the pressure...
