Computing vapor-liquid equilibria is a common occurrence in many chemical engineering operations. For ideal mixtures the calculations are fairly routine. Unfortunately, many vapor liquid systems of industrial interest form non-ideal mixtures and the calculations then require solving systems of nonlinear equations. In this presentation we show how webMathematica can be used to develop an online site that students can use to validate VLE models using their own experimental data. An online demo can be seen at http://www.higgins.ucdavis.edu/webmath.php
