The image of the number of non-compositional variables is represented above. To calculate the number of non-compositional variables, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Number of Phases Present (P), Number of Degree of Freedom (F)Â and Number of Components in System (C).
The formula for calculating the number of non-compositional variables:
N = (P + F) – C
Where:
N = Number of Non-Compositional Variables
P = Number of Phases Present
F = Number of Degree of Freedom
C = Number of Components in System
Given an example;
Find the number of non-compositional variables when the number of phases is 24, the number of degree of freedom is 11 and the number of components in system is 9.
This implies that;
P = Number of Phases Present = 24
F = Number of Degree of Freedom = 11
C = Number of Components in System = 9
N = (P + F) – C
So, N = (24 + 11) – 9
N = (35) – 9
N = 26
Therefore, the number of non-compositional variables is 26.
