Abstract

The algorithms for calculating two-dimensional (2D) phase diagrams and three-dimensional (3D) phase diagrams are described. While the concept of the zero-phase-fraction is used to calculate 2D phase diagrams, the concept of one-phase fraction is applied to calculate 3D phase diagrams. 3D phase diagrams can be better viewed with contour lines such as isothermal lines on the 3D phase boundary surfaces. The concepts of zero-phase fraction and one-phase fraction have also been generalized to a contour line of any property.
