Overview
Thermodynamic modelling of experimental or natural phase equilibria has become an integral part of petrology. The wide range of possible mineral compositions in natural rocks and the slow reaction kinetics that hinder direct experimentation make it necessary to have robust theoretical mixing models for interpolation and extrapolation. The contributing authors of Thermodynamic Data: Systematics and Estimation discuss, in detail, these various modelling methods and show how computer simulation of geochemical reactions enable experimentalists to explore processes that are difficult or impossible to reproduce in the laboratory.Editorials
Booknews
Reviews current methods for estimating and improving the quality of thermodynamic data. Application of these methods leads to thermodynamic data which are important to physical chemists, geochemists, geophysicists and material scientists for the quantitative modeling of natural and industrial thermodynamic processes in low-temperature aqueous systems, and the high- temperature supercritical fluids and solid systems. Both natural and industrial systems are discussed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
