  - An azeotrope is a constant boiling point mixture, and its behavior is important
    for fluid separation processes. Predicting azeotropes from atomistic simulations
    is difficult due to the complexities and convergence problems of Monte Carlo and
    free-energy perturbation techniques. Here, we present a methodology for predicting
    the azeotropes of binary mixtures, which computes the compositional dependence
    of chemical potentials from molecular dynamics simulations using the S0 method
    and employs experimental boiling point and vaporization enthalpy data. Using this
    methodology, we reproduce the azeotropes, or lack thereof, in five case studies,
    including ethanol/water, ethanol/isooctane, methanol/water, hydrazine/water, and
    acetone/chloroform mixtures. We find that it is crucial to use the experimental
    boiling point and vaporization enthalpy for reliable azeotrope predictions, as
    empirical force fields are not accurate enough for these quantities. Finally,
    we use regular solution models to rationalize the azeotropes and reveal that they
    tend to form when the mixture components have similar boiling points and strong
    interactions.@eng
