Abstract
When chemical thermodynamic calculations are applied to the evaluation of· metallurgical processes, it is essential that reliable data are used in order to reach valid conclusions. The compilation of such data from raw experimental results which are reported in the literature is a highly skilled operation. All aspects of the skills involved are described in the present article, including available methods for estimating unknown data. It is desirable that fully self-consistent data should include reliable phase diagram information when available, and the relationships between thermodynamic data and phase equilibria are described. A review is given of the current position in the calculation of phase equilibria for multicomponent alloy systems, employing data from binary systems. The storage of data in computer data banks is discussed and the particular NPL data bank which stores metallurgical thermodynamic data is described. Finally, a review of recent examples in which thermodynamic calculations h...

A simplex method for function minimization

TL;DR: A method is described for the minimization of a function of n variables, which depends on the comparison of function values at the (n 41) vertices of a general simplex, followed by the replacement of the vertex with the highest value by another point.
