Adds an executed study of dissolved-water saturation with sourced historical paraffin and lubricating-oil experiments, a separately labelled formulated 15W-40 comparator, and CPA/SRK calculations for four assumed mineral-oil characterizations. Includes one-point calibration versus held-out data, pressure/MW/density sensitivity, cooling water release, reusable CSV inputs, and five embedded figures.

Validation: all 12 code cells executed in a fresh Python 3.12.14 environment with Java 17.0.20 and source-built NeqSim master 9b1366b6d3f3a8f1b170fbd0c623692fa5252a1a (3.24.0). Phase coexistence, component balance, water fugacity equality and excess-water independence pass. Default CPA held-out paraffin MAPE is 2.87% conditional on assumed characterization and digitization. The one-point fit does not improve held-out accuracy.

Rendered review: nbconvert basic HTML with MathJax SVG; 23 expressions rendered without errors; every cell/table/equation and all five figures inspected through WeasyPrint. Repository notebook-checker tests: 6 passed; --all: 367 notebooks, zero errors, 47 pre-existing warnings; new notebook --require-main-source: zero errors/warnings. Static syntax, readability and Colab math gates passed.

Documentation impact: README and examples catalog updated; dedicated maintenance-ledger shard and index count updated.

Limitations: paraffin characterization and nominal pressure are assumed; figure digitization has reading envelopes; historical high-temperature measurements lack matching pressures; formulated-oil KF data are operational saturation values and do not validate additive-free mineral-oil EOS predictions. Density alone does not identify naphthenic chemistry. No confirmed NeqSim defect was discovered.

VALIDATION PENDING CI. Draft publication for review; no merge requested.
