BARC-1: In a Eutectic Phase Diagram, Lever Rule can be applied just above Eutectic Temp or Just below. But not at the Eutectic Temp. What is the Reason?

The answer is quite simple!! If you remember the derivation of Level Rule, it is derived for a Two-Phase Equilibrium. At the Eutectic Point, there is a three-phase Equilibrium and hence it cannot be applied !! :) :) We will post the Questions at the start of the Day and answers at the End of the DayRead more

See lessBecause lever rule is used to find the composition of two phases that are in equilibrium. But at the eutectic point, the phases present are in dynamic equilibrium. To apply a mass balance equation there were require one more parameter i.e rate of heat. Without knowing how much heat is taken out or hRead more
Because lever rule is used to find the composition of two phases that are in equilibrium. But at the eutectic point, the phases present are in dynamic equilibrium. To apply a mass balance equation there were require one more parameter i.e rate of heat. Without knowing how much heat is taken out or how much heat is given to the system we can’t apply any mass balance equation. So we’re not able to apply lever rule at the eutectic point.
Whereas we can apply above and below eutectic temperature because equilibrium present there is not dynamic.

See lessTheĀ lever ruleĀ is a rule used to determine theĀ mole fractionĀ or theĀ mass fractionĀ of each phase of aĀ binaryĀ equilibriumĀ phase diagram. It can be used to determine the fraction of liquid and solid phases for a given binary composition and temperature that is between theĀ liquidusĀ andĀ solidusĀ line. ThRead more
- There is now more than one two-phase region. The tie line drawn is from the solid alpha to the liquid and by dropping a vertical line down at these points the mass fraction of each phase is directly read off the graph, that is the mass fraction in the x axis element. The same equations can be used to find the mass fraction of alloy in each of the phases, i.e. wlĀ is the mass fraction of the whole sample in the liquid phase
- Conclusion : Lever Rule can’t applied on Eutectic Point due to three phase, it describes two phase equilibrium.Ā

So this is what causes dynamic equilibrium..
As we going far from line this interaction parameter changes..Ā So we can not calculate.
