Don't chemists use the term phase diagram for the P-T diagrams showing the lines of equilibium (and the triple point) between eg solid, liquid and gas phases of a pure substance? Linuxlad 22:54, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I have written two lines here on the physico-chemical use. I would prefer that this thermodynamical aspect was associated with 'phase diagram' and that the space of dynamical variables was called 'phase space' (phase space currently redirects here). We already have stuff being added to Liouville's theorem (Hamiltonian) which better belongs in a phase space article IMHO Linuxlad 12:33, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Iron/Carbon system - I've written to Longman's to ask if the phase diagram quoted by W J Moore (in 'Physical Chemistry' fig 5.24 IIRC) is useable.Linuxlad 14:28, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I now have permission from Pearson to include this. Linuxlad 22:00, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] More diagrams

I think we should add a stie that have more than allows. Like ammonia, nitrogen and such

[edit] Phase Diagram ≠ Binary Phase Diagram

When people talk about phase diagrams they usually mean Pressure on the ordinate, T on the abscissa, for one particular material. When talking about binary phase diagrams, two different materials (usually pure metals) are mixed on a continuum in the abscissa, with T on the ordinate. Currently Binary phase diagram links to this page, when it actually needs its own. Riceplaytexas 07:09, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I've reset some of the redirects to the binary phase diagram sectionRiceplaytexas 07:28, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
