Main aims of the course are: - understanding of the base of calculation of phase equilibria in various systems;
- retrieving of the knowledge of experimental methods necessary for successful calculation of phase diagrams;
- retrieving of the knowledge of theoretical methods for modeling of Gibbs energy of phases;
- gaining the information how to assess literature data and perform optimization of them together with experimental and theoretical information;
- creating consistent database for succesful prediction of stable equilibrium state for industrial application;
At the end of the course, students should be able to calculate phase diagrams and use them for solution of practical applications.
