For Pure substance :
and LaTeX Math Inline body C=1
.LaTeX Math Inline body F = 3 - P
It means that 3-phase equilibrium Phase Equilibrium (solid, liquid an gas) has zero degrees of freedom :
thus making a single point on Phase Equilibrium Diagram, called Triple Point and charcaterized characterized by a certain Temperature and Pressure. LaTeX Math Inline body F = 0
The The 2-phase equilibrium Phase Equilibrium has one degree of freedom:
and form a smooth line on Phase Equilibrium Diagram.LaTeX Math Inline body F=1
Binary Mixture
...
For Binary Mixture:
and LaTeX Math Inline body C=2
.LaTeX Math Inline body F = 4 - P
It particularly means that 2-Phase Equilibrium of Binary Mixture has two degrees of freedom :
and covers a 2-dimensional area on Phase Equilibrium Diagram. LaTeX Math Inline body F = 2
