Maybe I missed it but TBR doesn't really cover azeotropes much.

I may be incorrect but isn't this when two compounds (e.g., water and ethanol) form a mixture that cannot be separated by distillation because they have a higher or lower BP than either of the components.

Can someone summarize what I should know about this?
