Computer generation of phase diagrams and the associated free energy curves for a binary system

Abstract

An interactive computer program is introduced in order to make a simultaneous graphical presentation of phase boundaries and their corresponding free energy curves. The program, which uses a graphics display terminal, is a useful tool in teaching thermodynamic concepts involved in phase diagrams, especially for undergraduate students.
