The image of the number of components in the system is represented below. To calculate the number of components in system, three essential parameters are needed and these are: Number of Phases Present (P), the Number of Degree of Freedom (F) and Number of Non-Compositional Variables (N).
The formula for calculating number of components in system:
C = (P + F) – N
Where:
C = Number of Components in System
P = Number of Phases Present
F = Number of Degree of Freedom
N = Number of Non-Compositional Variables
Let’s solve an example;
Find the number of components in system when the number of phases present is 10, the number of degree of freedom is 6 and the number of non-compositional variables is 8.
This implies that;
P = Number of Phases Present = 10
F = Number of Degree of Freedom = 6
N = Number of Non-Compositional Variables = 8
C = (P + F) – N
So, C = (10 + 6) – 8
C = (16) – 8
C = 8
Therefore, the number of components in system is 8.
