Talk:PHZ3400 Phase Transition

Matt 2/2 @ 2:30PM I've cleaned up the Van der Waals section as per Vlad's instructions in class, but I think we can still add/clarify it. I'm going to add a subsection to it later that discusses the Van der Waals equation near a critical point, like in our second homework.

2/2 (Steven) I've put a few equations in the nucleation section but think I need some help with the derivation.

Matt 1/30 @ 1:36PM I began entering some info on the nucleation section. I am going to try and find a phase diagram with a coexistence dome to put on. Also, any word if there was a mistake in the Van der Waals Equation?

1/28 10:18 PM (Peter) I think you may have made a mistake on the Van der Waals equation. Every source that I seem to find on it writes it differently than you did. I'll put more up later.

1/27 (Matt) I've added some info to the Van der Waals section. I am pulling the info from the notes, the Soft Condensed Matter book, and a Thermal book (Schroeder). If anyone else has better resources feel free to add.
