Calculation of phase equilibria for the ternary system by the grand potential method

  • Published:
Journal of Phase Equilibria

Abstract

The relationships among the grand potential,G, the chemical potential, μi, and the effective chemical potential, μi, are geometrically demonstrated. An important equation concerning the relationship between the effective chemical potential, μi, and the molar free energy, Fm, was deduced. Use of the grand potential method enables calculation of the phase equilibria for the miscibility gap and different crystal structures in the ternary system.
