Thermodynamics: calculating phase equilibria and physical properties using PERPLE_X
Geosciences Montpellier, F
5-8 July, 2010
Organiser: James Connolly (ETH Zurich)
Intervenants: James Connolly (ETH Zurich), Yuri Podladtchikov (Univ. Oslo), Lucie Tajcmanova
Objective: Teach how to construct phase diagram sections and, from these, extract physical properties from chemical and thermodynamics data. It will be composed of a theoretical introduction on thermodynamics, focussing on equations of state, and a large practical section where the fellows will learn how to use PERPLE_X for calculating and displaying phase diagrams and equilibria and estimating physical properties based on thermodynamical data.
Participants: Crystal2Plate fellows + 8-10 external participants
