The Second Volume of Equilibrium between Phases of Matter, when
compared with the First Volume, by H.A.J. Oonk and M.T. Calvet,
published in 2008, amounts to an extension of subjects, and a
deepening of understanding. In the first three sections of the text
an extension is given of the theory on isobaric binary systems. The
fourth section gives an account of the thermodynamic analyses of
four isobaric binary key systems, highlighting the power of
empirical, (exo)thermodynamic correlations. The fifth section is
devoted to the thermodynamic description of ternary systems. The
last three sections concentrate on the properties of materials, and
the phase behaviour of systems under the conditions of high
temperature and high pressure conditions that prevail in the
interior of the Earth. A new equation of state is the subject of
the sixth section. In the seventh section a move is made to
statistical thermodynamics and vibrational models; the description
of the systems has changed from mathematical to physical. The last
section is on the system MgO SiO2, looked upon from a geophysical
point of view.
Throughout the work high priority is given to the thermodynamic
assessment of experimental data; numerous end-of-section exercises
and their solutions are included. Along with the First Volume, the
work is useful for materials scientists and geophysicists as a
reference text.
Audience
Volume II is a lecture book for postgraduate students in
chemistry, chemical engineering, geology and metallurgy. It is
highly useful as a recommended text for teachers and researchers in
all fields of materials science.
