      The goalTo provide students a solid background in applying the basic differential equations for the description of processes in heterogeneous, multicomponent systems. To gain knowledge about principles of phase equilibria and using the phase diagrams of two-, three- and four-component systems in solving practical problems.
      The outcomeStudents gain knowledge about phase transformations and phase equilibria that do appear in many processes of Inorganic Chemical Technology and Materials Engineering. In the scope of inspection and examination of two-, three- and four-component phase diagrams with numerous examples the students are qualified to use the concrete phase diagrams concerning the Chemical and Materials Engineering. Under the independent assignment, students discuss and estimate the conditions of phase equilibria in multi-component systems.
