//! Saturation pressure models.
//!
//! Saturation (vapor) pressure Psat(T) is the pressure at which a pure component
//! boils at temperature T. These correlations are essential for:
//!
//! 1. **Initial K-value estimates** in flash calculations — Ki ≈ Psat_i(T) / P_system
//! gives a starting point for iterative convergence.
//! 2. **Bubble/dew point initialization** — correlating Psat across components
//! gives initial temperature or pressure guesses.
//! 3. **Validation** — comparing EOS-predicted saturation with correlation values
//! confirms the EOS parameterization is correct.
//!
//! The models range from simple empirical (Antoine, 3 parameters) to thermodynamically
//! consistent (Maxwell equal-area, derived directly from the EOS).
