  2. Residue curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residue_curve

    Residue curves allow testing the feasibility of a separation of mixtures and therefore are a valuable tool in designing distillation processes. Residue curve maps are typically used for examining ternary mixtures which can't be easily separated by distillation because of azeotropic points or too small relative volatilities .

  3. Phase diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram

    A phase diagram in physical ... network of hydrogen bonding which requires a greater separation of water ... model of a ternary phase diagram is a right-triangular ...

  4. Ternary plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_plot

    A ternary flammability diagram, showing which mixtures of methane, oxygen gas, and inert nitrogen gas will burn. A ternary plot, ternary graph, triangle plot, simplex plot, or Gibbs triangle is a barycentric plot on three variables which sum to a constant. [1] It graphically depicts the ratios of the three variables as positions in an ...

  5. Spinodal decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinodal_decomposition

    Microstructural evolution under the Cahn–Hilliard equation, demonstrating distinctive coarsening and phase separation. Spinodal decomposition is a mechanism by which a single thermodynamic phase spontaneously separates into two phases (without nucleation). [1] Decomposition occurs when there is no thermodynamic barrier to phase separation. As ...

  6. Spinodal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinodal

    A phase diagram displaying spinodal curves, within the binodal coexistence curves and two critical points: an upper and lower critical solution temperature.. In thermodynamics, the limit of local stability against phase separation with respect to small fluctuations is clearly defined by the condition that the second derivative of Gibbs free energy is zero.

  7. Separation process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_process

    A separation process is a method that converts a mixture or a solution of chemical substances into two or more distinct product mixtures, [1] a scientific process of separating two or more substances in order to obtain purity. At least one product mixture from the separation is enriched in one or more of the source mixture's constituents.

  8. Cahn–Hilliard equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahn–Hilliard_equation

    The Cahn–Hilliard equation (after John W. Cahn and John E. Hilliard) [1] is an equation of mathematical physics which describes the process of phase separation, spinodal decomposition, by which the two components of a binary fluid spontaneously separate and form domains pure in each component.

  9. File:TernaryExample.svg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TernaryExample.svg

    This is a very basic ternary diagram in svg for hypothetical components A, B, and C. I'm hoping that someone (perhaps me when I have time) will use this base for a more thorough explanation of ternary phase diagrams.
