Phase Rule and Univariant Systems

The document discusses the degree of freedom in phase equilibrium systems. It states that the degree of freedom (F) depends on the number of phases (P) present and can be calculated using the formula F=C-P+2, where C is the number of components. Specifically: 1) Systems on a curve have 1 phase and are univariant with F=1. 2) Systems in areas have 2 phases and are bivariant with F=2. 3) Systems at a triple point have 3 phases and are invariant with F=0.

The degree of freedom depends on the


number of phases present at equilibrium.
Three cases are prossible:

1. P= 1 ; F= 2 (Bivariant system)
2. P= 2 ; F= 1 (Univariant system)
3. P= 3 ; F= 0 (Invariant system)
z

• On curve

F= C – P + 2
1 – 2 + 2 = 1 (univariant)

• In areas (solid, liquid or gas)


F= C – P + 2
1 – 1 + 2 = 2 (bivariant)

• At triple point
F= C – P + 2
1 – 3 + 2 = 0 (zerovariant or
invariant)
