Mass Transfer
If the solubilities of different components (in a liquid-liquid extraction system) increase with rise in temperature, then the temperature above which they dissolve completely is known as the critical solution temperature (CST or consolute temperature). If solubilities increase with decrease in temperature, then CST is the temperature below which they dissolve completely. If a binary system has no critical solution temperature, it implies that

The system comprises of an azeotrope
The system comprises of miscible liquids
On heating, a vapor phase will appear ; while on cooling, a solid phase will appear
The system comprises of partially mis-cible liquids

Mass Transfer
Steam distillation is not recommended to be used, if the

Material can not be distilled by indirect heating even under low pressure, because of the high boiling temperature
Liquids decompose, if distilled directly at atmospheric pressure
Material to be distilled is thermally unstable or has the tendency to react with other components associated with it, at the boiling temperature
Azeotropic mixture is to be separated and the final product is miscible with water
