Abstract

Abstract A feasible region is employed to describe unknown parameters in thermodynamic models. The method is based on interval estimation of experimental observations, and it is applied to thermodynamic optimization of liquid phase in Ag–Mg system. A final feasible region is an overlapping area among all feasible regions calculated from different groups of data. A discussion of computational advantages on this method suggests that it is a promising method for parameter estimation, but its limitations require more studies on problems such as non-linear inequalities, multi-dimensional visualization and uncertainties in experimental conditions.
