Phase Diagram

This interactive simulator explores Phase Diagram in Thermodynamics. Temperature-pressure diagram with phase transitions. Use the controls to change the scenario; watch the visualization and any graphs or readouts to connect the model with lectures, labs, and homework.

Who it's for: For learners comfortable with heavier math or second-level detail. Typical context: Thermodynamics.

Key terms

  • phase
  • diagram
  • phase diagram
  • thermodynamics

How it works

A **schematic** pressure–temperature diagram: solid, liquid, gas, and **supercritical** regions are separated by **fusion** (melting), **vaporization** (boiling), and **sublimation** curves meeting at a **triple point**. The dashed curves are guides; coordinates **T̂**, **P̂** are normalized for teaching, not experimental water data. Drag the sliders to move the yellow dot and read off the phase.

Key equations

Along coexistence curves: chemical potentials equal (µ₁ = µ₂)
Clapeyron: dP/dT = ΔS/ΔV along a boundary
