  2. 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 ...

  3. Phase diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram

    Thus, the space model of a ternary phase diagram is a right-triangular prism. The prism sides represent corresponding binary systems A-B, B-C, A-C. However, the most common methods to present phase equilibria in a ternary system are the following: 1) projections on the concentration triangle ABC of the liquidus, solidus, solvus surfaces; 2 ...

  4. 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 .

  5. Phase separation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_separation

    Mixing of liquids A and B and subsequent phase separation When mixed, oil and vinegar will phase-separate A phase diagram for two isotopes of helium, showing at bottom a range of temperatures and ratios at which they will phase-separate. Phase separation is the creation of two distinct phases from a single homogeneous mixture. [1] The most ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. 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.

  8. Binodal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binodal

    A phase diagram displaying binodal (coexistence) curves as well as spinodal curves, and lower (LCST) and upper (UCST) critical solution temperatures.. In thermodynamics, the binodal, also known as the coexistence curve or binodal curve, denotes the condition at which two distinct phases may coexist.

  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.
