Abstract
A method for calculating and constructing isobaric-isothermal sections of ternary system phase diagrams with the use of convex hulls was developed. The method is based on the projection of the singularities of the lower part of the Gibbs energy convex hull onto the plane of component mole fractions followed by a geometric analysis of the properties of this projection. The method is applicable to a wide range of ternary systems, it can be used to find tie-line coordinates and determine the phase compositions of all the diagram regions. The quality of the suggested algorithm was estimated, and examples of the construction of several phase diagrams are given.Keywords
