✦ Synopsis
The tangent pinch problem for multicomponent systems has been investigated. It is shown that the notion of a binary tangent pinch, which is well understood, logically extends to the multicomponent case. A bifurcation analysis provides further insight into the mathematical conditions that apply at a tangent pinch, along with a procedure which serves to locate the minimum reflux ratio under tangent pinch conditions.
