Are you sure, Not_Important? I doubt that paraffin hydrocarbons could possibly be that miscible with water near their boiling-points, to produce
azeotropes with such compositions, in view of the data in Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook. In fact, they form separate layers, when attempted to
be mixed. I think you may have confused those paraffins with the corresponding 1-alcohols, or ternary mixtures of these with the paraffins and water..
