Gibbs energy phase diagrams

Fig. 16. Gibbs energy-temperature diagram if FCC and ECC are present in the system. Ai-isotropic (undeformed) melt, A2-deformed melt (nematic phase) points 1 and 4 - melting temperatures of FCC and ECC under unconstrained conditions (transition into isotropic melt) points V and 2 -melting temperatures of FCC and ECC under isometric conditions (transition into nematic phase), point 3 - melting temperature of nematic phase (transition into isotropic melt but not completely randomized)...

Figure C2.1.10. (a) Gibbs energy of mixing as a function of the volume fraction of polymer A for a symmetric binary polymer mixture = Ag = N. The curves are obtained from equation (C2.1.9 ). (b) Phase diagram of a symmetric polymer mixture = Ag = A. The full curve is the binodal and delimits the homogeneous region from that of the two-phase stmcture. The broken curve is the spinodal.

In order to examine the possible relationship between the bulk thermodynamics of binary transition metal-aluminum alloys and their tendency to form at underpotentials, the room-temperature free energies of several such alloys were calculated as a function of composition using the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) method [85]. The Gibbs energy of a particular phase, G, was calculated by using Eq. (14),...

Based on the standard Gibbs free energy of the various oxides, three triple points can be calculated WO2.72. WO2.9, WO2 at about 600°C, W02,9, WO3, WO2 at about 270°C, and WO2, WO2.72, W at 1480°C. Using this data, a phase diagram can be constructed. The stability of the various oxides is shown in Fig. 8.2 with respect to the partial pressures of H2O and H2, and temperature. Because aU of these compositions are equilibrium compositions, any of them can be produced simply by annealing W or WO3 at the given partial pressure ratio and temperature.
