We have carried out extensive equilibrium molecular-dynamics simulations to study quantitatively the topology of the temperature versus density phase diagrams and related interfacial phenomena in a partially miscible symmetric Lennard-Jones binary mixture. The topological features are studied as a function of miscibility parameter, alpha = epsilonAB/epsilonAA. Here epsilonAA = epsilonBB and epsilonAB stand for the parameters related to the attractive part of the intermolecular interactions for similar and dissimilar particles, respectively. When the miscibility varies in the range 0 < alpha < 1, a continuous critical line of consolute points Tcons(rho)--critical demixing transition line--appears. This line intersects the liquid-vapor coexistence curve at different positions depending on the values of alpha, yielding mainly three different topologies for the phase diagrams. These results are in qualitative agreement to those found previously for square-well and hard-core Yukawa binary mixtures. The main contributions of the present paper are (i) a quantitative analysis of the phase behavior and (ii) a detailed study of the liquid-liquid interfacial and liquid-vapor surface tensions, as function of temperature and miscibility as well as its relationship to the topological features of the phase diagrams.
