Ternary systems applications

In order for this concept to be applicable, the matrix and the reactant phase must be thermodynamically stable in contact with each other. One can evaluate this possibility if one has information about the relevant phase diagram — which typically involves a ternary system — as well as the titration curves of the component binary systems. In a ternary system, the two materials must lie at comers of the same constant-potential tie-triangle in the relevant isothermal ternary phase diagram in order to not interact. The potential of the tie-triangle determines the electrode reaction potential, of course. 

Chapter 18 - The determination region of solubility of methanol with gasoline of high aromatic content was investigated experimentally at temperature of 288.2 K. A type 1 liquid-liquid phase diagram was obtained for this ternary system. These results were correlated simultaneously by the UNIQUAC model. By application of this model and the experimental data the values of the interaction parameters between each pair of components in the system were determined. This revealed that the root mean square deviation (RMSD) between the observed and calculated mole percents was 3.57% for methylcyclohexane + methanol + ethylbenzene. The mutual solubility of methylcyclohexane and ethylbenzene was also demostrated by the addition of methanol at 288.2 K. 

The main areas of application for more generalised models have, until recently, been restricted to binary and ternary systems or limited to ideal industrial materials where only major elements were included. The key to general application of CALPHAD methods in multi-component systems is the development of sound, validated thermodynamic databases which can be accessed by the computing software and, until recently, there has been a dearth of such databases.

In a blend of immiscible homopolymers, macrophase separation is favoured on decreasing the temperature in a blend with an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) or on increasing the temperature in a blend with a lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Addition of a block copolymer leads to competition between this macrophase separation and microphase separation of the copolymer. From a practical viewpoint, addition of a block copolymer can be used to suppress phase separation or to compatibilize the homopolymers. Indeed, this is one of the main applications of block copolymers. The compatibilization results from the reduction of interfacial tension that accompanies the segregation of block copolymers to the interface. From a more fundamental viewpoint, the competing effects of macrophase and microphase separation lead to a rich critical phenomenology. In addition to the ordinary critical points of macrophase separation, tricritical points exist where critical lines for the ternary system meet. A Lifshitz point is defined along the line of critical transitions, at the crossover between regimes of macrophase separation and microphase separation. This critical behaviour is discussed in more depth in Chapter 6. 

We can now consider the conditions of stability for pure substances, binary systems, and ternary systems based on Equations (5.122), (5.132), and (5.134), respectively. In order to satisfy the conditions, the coefficient of each term (except the last term in each applicable equation, which is zero) must be positive. If any one of the terms is negative for a hypothetical homogenous system, that system is unstable and cannot exist. 

S 2] The result was a prediction of phase behavior of the ternary system H20/HI/I2 given in Figure 4.83 together with experimental data. The direct application of this tool to micro technology is uncritical as this simulation only considers thermodynamic and chemical model assumptions. It does not make any assumptions such as the neglect of axial heat transfer.
