Phase Diagrams and Thermodynamic Modeling of Solutions

Thermodynamics, Phase Diagrams and Thermodynamic Modeling of Solutions provides readers with an understanding of thermodynamics and phase equilibria that is required to make full and efficient use of these tools. As well, experts involved in developing thermodynamic databases will find a comprehensive reference text of solution models currently in use.

Presents a rigorous and complete development of thermodynamics for readers who already have a basic understanding of chemical thermodynamicsProvides an in-depth understanding of phase equilibriaIncludes information that can be used as a text for graduate courses on thermodynamics and phase diagrams, or on solution modelingCovers several types of phase diagrams (paraequilibrium, solidus projections, first-melting projections, Scheil diagrams, enthalpy diagrams), and more
