In this paper, a thermodynamic re-assessment of the Al-Sn-Zn ternary system was performed by means of the CALculation of PHAse Diagram (CALPHAD) approach. The thermodynamic descriptions of the binary Al-Sn, Al-Zn, and Sn-Zn systems from the literature were directly adopted, and the newly reported experimental phase equilibria, enthalpies of mixing, and activities of Al in the ternary liquid phase were taken into account. A set of self-consistent thermodynamic parameters for the ternary Al-Sn-Zn system were finally obtained. A comprehensive comparison between the presently calculated phase equilibria/thermodynamic properties and the experimental data indicates that the present thermodynamic descriptions of the ternary Al-Sn-Zn system show very good agreement with most of the experimental data. The further direct comparison with the calculated results due to the previous assessment demonstrates that a significant improvement was achieved by the present assessment though fewer ternary interaction parameters were utilized.

A critical thermodynamic assessment of the metastable c-TiAlZrN coatings, which are reported to spinodally decompose into triple domains, i.e., c-TiN, c-AlN, and c-ZrN, was performed via the CALculation of PHAse Diagram (CALPHAD) technique based on the limited experimental data as well as the first-principles computed free energies. The metastable c-TiAlZrN coatings were modeled as a pseudo-ternary phase consisting of c-TiN, c-AlN and c-ZrN species, and described using the substitutional solution model. The thermodynamic descriptions for the three boundary binaries were directly taken from either the CALPHAD assessment or the first-principles results available in the literature except for a re-adjustment of the pseudo-binary c-AlN/c-ZrN system based on the experimental phase equilibria in the pseudo-ternary system. The good agreement between the calculated phase equilibria and the experimental data over the wide temperature range was obtained, validating the reliability of the presently obtained thermodynamic descriptions for the c-TiAlZrN system. Based on the present thermodynamic description, different phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties can be easily predicted. It is anticipated that the present thermodynamic description of the metastable c-TiAlZrN coatings can serve as the important input for the later quantitative description of the microstructure evolution during service life.

ABSTRACTThe phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties of the ternary Ni-Al-Ta system on Ni-rich side were analyzed. Thermodynamic descriptions of the liquid, γ-fcc, γ'-L12, and π-Ni6AlTa phases were obtained using the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHase Diagrams) technique. The thermodynamics of γ-fcc and γ'-L12 phases were modeled with a single Gibbs energy function taking into account the crystallographic relation between the two phases. The ternary interaction parameters of the liquid and fcc phases were also determined. The calculated phase diagrams of the ternary Ni-Al-Ta system show a good agreement with experimental data.

Phase equilibria of the Ag–Sn–Cu ternary system have been determined experimentally as well as using the calculation of phase diagram (CALPHAD) method. Various Ag–Sn–Cu alloys were prepared to study the isothermal sections of the Ag–Sn–Cu ternary system at 240 and 450 °C. No ternary compounds were found and all the binary compounds had only limited ternary solubility. The ∈1–Cu3Sn phase is a very stable phase. It is in equilibrium with the Ag, ζ–Ag4Sn, ∈2–Ag3Sn, η–Cu6Sn5, and Cu phases at 240 °C, and is in equilibrium with the Ag, ζ, ∈2, L, and δ–Cu4Sn phases at 450 °C. Thermodynamic models of the Ag–Sn–Cu ternary system were developed based on available thermodynamic models of the constituent binary systems without introducing ternary interaction parameters. The isothermal sections at 240 and 450 °C were calculated, and the results were in good agreement with those determined experimentally. In addition to the isothermal sections, stability diagrams of Sn and Cu were calculated as well.

The isothermal section at 573 K of the Ni-Cu-La system was experimentally validated as well as the Mg-La-Cu system was thermodynamically evaluated. Four sample alloys in the Ni-Cu-La system were prepared and analyzed by ICP, XRD and BSE/EDS. All the experimental results were compared favorably with the calculated phase relationships. For the Mg-La-Cu ternary system, the isothermal section at 673 K was assessed on the basis of the available results in literatures, which showed a good agreement with the experimental data. Based on the thermodynamic models and parameters of the six binaries and four ternaries, the Mg-Ni-La-Cu system was finally modeled. The non-equilibrium solidification path La0.7Mg0.3Ni2.8-xCux (x=0-0.4) and the vertical section of LaNi5-Mg2Cu were calculated and analyzed from the viewpoint of hydrogen storage alloys design.

The accurate prediction of the track of a ship maneuvering in a seaway is one of the most important tasks in seakeeping. Most ship maneuvering studies, both experimental and numerical, focus on maneuvering in calm water. Recently, Lin and Klamo (2010) used the Digital Self-consistent Ship Experimental Laboratory (DiSSEL) to study the ship track of a turning circle maneuver in a wave field. In that study, it was shown that their simulated ship trajectories had good agreement with experimentally measured tracks. This agreement motivated the following quantitative analysis of the experimental data to characterize the effects that wave impacts have on turning circle ship tracks. Our method involves describing the ship trajectories as sinusoids with time-varying means. We also estimate the uncertainty in the results from our analysis of the experimental measurements. The quantitative analysis shows overall agreement with Lin and Klamo (2010). New findings are also discussed such as changes in the distance and time to complete the maneuver as well as the speed and preferred directions of a drifting turning circle.

The Group Contribution Equation of State (GC-EoS) was extended to represent high-pressure phase equilibria behavior of mixtures containing mono-, di-, triglycerides, and carbon dioxide (CO2). For this purpose, the alcohol-ester and the alcohol-triglyceride binary group interaction parameters were regressed in this work, using experimental phase equilibria data from the literature. The capability of the parameters obtained was assessed by applying the GC-EoS model to simulate the supercritical CO2 fractionation of a complex glyceride mixture, which was produced by the ethanolysis of sunflower oil. Experimental data was obtained in a countercurrent packed extraction column at pressures ranging from 16 to 25 MPa and temperatures from 313 to 368 K. The GC-EoS model was applied in a completely predictive manner to simulate the phase equilibria behavior of the multistage separation process. The chemical analysis of the glyceride mixture allowed a significant simplification of its complex composition and thus, a simple and satisfactory simulation of the supercritical extraction process was achieved.
