Revisiting The Fenceplot For The Maxwell Construction Of A Van Der Waals Fluid, Carl W. David
Revisiting The Fenceplot For The Maxwell Construction Of A Van Der Waals Fluid, Carl W. David
Chemistry Education Materials
An earlier published plot intended to better explain the Maxwell construction of the vapor pressure construct for van der Waals fluids is improved using Inkscape.
Verwiebe's "3-D" Ice Phase Diagram Reworked, Carl W. David
Verwiebe's "3-D" Ice Phase Diagram Reworked, Carl W. David
Chemistry Education Materials
The two dimensional phase diagrams of the various forms of ice are difficult to read and understand. A ``3D'' versions appearing ~80 years ago helps understanding of the phases and their inter-conversion into other phases.
Is The Maxwell Construction Correct In Predicting The Van Der Waals Fluid's Vapor Pressure?, Carl W. David
Is The Maxwell Construction Correct In Predicting The Van Der Waals Fluid's Vapor Pressure?, Carl W. David
Chemistry Education Materials
The Maxwell construction yields a pressure value which traditionally been associated with the vapor pressure. Here, the question is answered whether or not the two phases represented by the construct are indeed in equilibrium.
