Thermodynamic Property

The Thermodynamic Property function is used to calculate thermodynamic properties, such as Gibbs energy, enthalpy, entropy, chemical potential, activity, etc. It is under the PanPhaseDiagram module. User can access this function through the menu (“Property → Thermodynamic Property”) after the thermodynamic database is loaded. A popup window will allow user to input calculation conditions as shown in Figure 1.

The calculation is set as a line calculation with the desired thermodynamic properties output. User may select the thermodynamic properties as needed by checking the boxes in front of each property as shown in Figure 1 and specify the reference state for each element. The selected property will be calculated and graph plotted as shown in Figure 2. If two or more thermodynamic properties are selected, they will be plotted separately. Experienced user can also get these results directly from the Line Calculation in the PanPhaseDiagram module with proper syntax using self-defined table.
