Illustrative Examples of Phase Diagrams

 In the mail chapter on phase diagrams some basics of phase diagrams were considered.
 In this sub-chapter we consider:
 a detailed treatment of phase diagrams and
 an illustrative set of phase diagrams (i.e. examples of various types of phase diagrams).
Getting Phase diagrams from Gibbs free energy versus composition plots

 By drawing G vs Xi (composition) plots for various temperatures we can obtain T vs X i

phase diagrams.
Getting the Eutectic Phase diagram from Gibbs free energy versus composition plot

 By drawing
Gibbs free energy vs composition plot at various temperatures: Isomorphous system
Gibbs free energy vs composition plot at various temperatures: Eutectic system
Gibbs free energy vs composition plot at various temperatures: Peritectic system
