The equilibrium "phase diagram" opposite shows the dependence of the alloys melting point on its composition, and the existence of the single solid phase below the solidus line indicates the complete ...

The course extends the treatment of thermodynamic properties of pure fluids to the application of problems unique to chemical engineering involving vapor-liquid equilibrium, liquid-liquid and ...

"We know that the majority of exoplanets will produce basalts, given that their host star metallicity will result in mantle ...

The ACerS-NIST Phase Equilibria Diagrams CD-ROM Database (Version 3.2). Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert! by contributing ...

Water is also commonly present as an additional liquid phase. These can coexist in equilibrium when the variables describing change in the entire system remain constant with time and position. The ...

At the eutectic temperature of 183 C, three phases exist in equilibrium: (Pb) with the composition Pb-19 wt % Sn, (Sn) with the composition Pb-97.5 wt% Sn, and the liquid with the eutectic composition ...

This accessible text is an introduction to the theory of phase transitions and its application to real materials. Assuming some familiarity with thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, the book ...

The transfer of material from one phase to another is a primary means of separating multicomponent solutions. In general, two equilibrium phases of a multicomponent mixture will have different ...
