Crystal-Liquid-Gas Phase Transitions and Thermodynamic Similarity

Download or read book Crystal-Liquid-Gas Phase Transitions and Thermodynamic Similarity written by Vladimir P. Skripov and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-12-13 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Skripov obtained worldwide recognition with his monograph "Metastable liquids", published in English by Wiley & Sons. Based upon this work and another monograph published only in Russia, this book investigates the behavior of melting line and the properties of the coexisting crystal and liquid phase of simple substances across a wide range of pressures, including metastable states of the coexisting phases. The authors derive new relations for the thermodynamic similarity for liquid-vapour phase transition, as well as describing solid-liquid, liquid-vapor and liquid-liquid phase transitions for binary systems employing the novel methodology of thermodynamic similarity.
