Primes

• Phase Diagram
  • 5. Apply the regime classification (e.g., lever rule for two-phase regions: given a point in the two-phase zone, the relative mass fractions of the two coexisting phases are inversely proportional to distances along the tie-line) to extract quantitative phase-fraction information.

    This sourceMaxwell construction for first-order phase transitions; graphical method for determining coexistence and lever-rule compositions in two-phase regions.

Domain-specific

• Van der Waals Equation
  • Physical phase coexistence requires thermodynamic selection, commonly represented by Maxwell's equal-area construction in the classical model.
