A rule relating the possible numbers of phases, constituents, and degrees of freedom in a chemical system.
〔化〕相律
Example sentencesExamples
In 1887 Hendrik Willem Bakhuis Roozeboom applied Josiah Willard Gibb's phase rule to alloys.
V. M. Goldschmidt at the University of Oslo applied the phase rule to mineralogical changes brought about during contact metamorphism of sedimentary rocks.
Briefly, if one collapse point is observed for a mixed film (in which individual components have differentiated collapse pressures) the surface phase rule determines lateral miscibility in the film.
For lipid mixtures the phase rule allows a temperature interval in which water may be in equilibrium with gel and fluid lipid domains.
For simple systems, the Gibbs phase rule limits the conditions at which multiple phases can coexist at equilibrium.
