Least Squares Optimization of Binary Thermodynamic and Phase Diagram data |
| Abstract |
A straight-forward method for simultaneously optimizing thermodynamic functions and phase diagrams from experimental data of both is described. The method introduces the flags in a subprogram which allow us to calculate several thermodynamic functions. The functions may be derived from phase diagram analysis. In order to test the validity and the applicability of the present method, the Ag-Cu system is chosen because of its variety of phase boundaries including a miscibility gap. The experimental data are found to be excellently reproduced by the optimized expressions. |
