TernAPI program

TernAPI program is designed for ternapy phase diagrams calculation by means of the convex hull method. Key features of the program are:

• High reliability of automatic search of equilibrium state of a system. i.e. resistance to "stucking in" Gibbs energy local minimum
• Quick calculation of isobaric-isothermal sections of ternary systems phase diagrams (1-30 sec.)
• Writing thermodynamic models of phases in a free analytical form in special language based on YAML and Ruby
• A set of examples that are models of ternary systems
• Built-in set of thermodynamic models of solutions (ideal solution, Redlich-Kister polynoms, NRTL, UNIQUAC)
• Built-in SGTE Unary database with thermodynamic properties of elements

Minimal system requirements:

• Windows XP/Vista/7/8 operating system or Wine 1.6 and higher
• 1 GB of RAM, 50 MB of HDD space
• Screen resolution 1024x768 or higher

Examples of diagrams calculated by means of TernAPI
