Construction of thermodynamic stability diagrams

Thermodynamic stability diagrams are useful as a way of displaying graphica lly the thermodynamic stabilities of the various species in a chemical syst em. The production of these diagrams becomes complicated in a complex syste m. A general construction method is suggested, which concentrates on the eq uilibrium lines and uses complete sets of chemical equations determined for the system. A proof of the method is presented and an example is shown to illustrate the capabilities of the computerized construction technique.
