Phase equilibrium exists between or within 2 states of matter (solid,liquid or gas).Two or more phases are in equilibrium if they have equality of temperature in each phase, equality of pressure in each phase and equality of chemical potential of each component in each phase.
Metastable phase range from melting solids (or freezing liquids), boiling liquids (or condensing gases) and sublimating solids to supercooled liquids or superheated liquid-gas mixtures. Extremely pure, supercooled water stays liquid below 0 °C and remains so until applied vibrations or condensing seed doping initiates crystallization centers. This is a common situation for the droplets of atmospheric clouds.
Three variables that determines the microstructure of an alloy are :
(1) The alloying elements present
(2) The concentrations of these alloying elements
(3) The heat treatment of the alloy.

5. Explain the difference between a Nash equilibrium and a dominant strategies equilibrium. Give an example to show how the prisoners' dilemma helps to explain behaviour. 6. Why might a firm set prices based on a markup above average cost rather than equalising marginal costs and marginal benefits? 7. Using a diagram, explain how an external cost of production (i.e. a negative production externality) can be internalised with a tax. |8. Explain the conditions of price discrimination. Give two examples...
