By considering the variation of the grand potential functional $\Omega$ with respect to small density fluctuations $\delta \rho_\alpha(1)$ we can determine the phase instability of a system from the correlation functions. Using the reference hypernetted chain (RHNC) approximation the correlation functions of an ion-dipole mixture have been calculated. With the obtained correlation functions the phase behaviour of ion-dipole mixtures has been investigated.

Key words: phase transition, demixing, instability, ion-dipole mixture, integral equations
