Concept Introduction:
On the temperature-composition graph of a ceramic, the curve above which the ceramic exist in the liquid phase is the liquidus curve. The temperature at this curve is the maximum temperature at which the crystals in the ceramic can coexist with its melt in the
Solidus curve is the locus of the temperature on the temperature composition graph of a ceramic, beyond which the ceramic is completely in solid phase.
Between the solidus and liquidus curve, the ceramic exits in a slurry form in which there is both crystals as well as ceramic melt.
Solidus temperature is always less than or equal to the liquidus temperature.

Concept Introduction:
A matter can exist in different physical forms such as sold, liquid, gas, and plasma. These distinct physical forms are known as a Phase.
A phase has uniform physical and chemical properties and is bounded by a surface due to which two phases can be
The formula to calculate the wt% from the mol% for a ceramic containing phases
Here,
Amount of each phase in mol% is calculated using lever rule. At a particular temperature and ceramic composition, a tie line is drawn on the phase diagram of the ceramic between the solidus and liquidus curve. Then the portion of the lever opposite to the phase whose amount is to be calculated is considered in the formula used as:

Answer to Problem 10.53P
Amount of liquid phase in mol% is
Amount of liquid phase in wt% is
Amount of solid phase in mol% is
Amount of solid phase in wt% is
Explanation of Solution
The phase diagram for NiO-MgO is given as:
Now, draw a straight line from temperature
Here, point 'a' represents
To calculate amount of liquid phase, lever 'ac' will be used and to calculate amount of solid phase, lever 'ba' will be used. Use equation (2) to calculate the amount of each phase as:
To calculate the amount of liquid and solid phases in wt%, first convert the original mol% of MgO in wt% using equation (1) and molecular weights of NiO and MgO as:
To apply the lever rule, use the corresponding wt% for the liquid and solid phases as calculated in part (a) as:
Apply lever rule as:

If the coefficient of static friction between his shoes and the ground is \( \mu_s = 0.4 \) and between the crate and the ground is \( \mu_c = 0.3 \), determine if the man is able to move the crate using the rope-and-pulley system shown. **Diagram Explanation:** The diagram illustrates a scenario where a man is attempting to pull a crate using a rope-and-pulley system. The setup is as follows: - **Crate (C):** Positioned on the ground with a rope attached. - **Rope:** Connects the crate to a pulley system and extends to the man. - **Pulley on Tree:** The rope runs over a pulley mounted on a tree which redirects the rope. - **Angles:** - The rope between the crate and tree forms a \(30^\circ\) angle with the horizontal. - The rope between the tree and the man makes a \(45^\circ\) angle with the horizontal. - **Man (A):** Pulling on the rope with the intention of moving the crate.
