A note on the application of the phase rule
-
Shuang-Lin Chen
Abstract
When an equilibrium state contains degenerate phases, the number of independent phases must be considered in applying Gibbs' Phase Rule. This number can be derived from the rank of the matrix containing the coefficients of the Gibbs – Duhem equations. This provides a quantitative determination of the degrees of freedom even under such conditions of degeneracy.
