Abstract
A modification of the computational technique for calculating bubble and dew points using an equation of state has been proposed. The procedure consists in the Double Application of the Newton-Raphson method (DAN) to the set of equilibrium conditions. The algorithm is very effective as it provides both values of equilibrium variables and a very qualified first estimate of the next equilibrium point. This enables to proceed along the phase envelope rather quickly and to achieve convergence within a few iterations except in the close vicinity of the critical point.
