Mining | Any of several modifications of the fundamental Gibbs phase rule, taking into account the number of degrees of freedom consumed by the fixing of physical-chemical variables in the natural environment. The most famous such rule, that of Goldschmidt, assumes that two variables (taken as pressure and temperature) are fixed externally and that consequently the number of phases (minerals) in a system (rock) will not generally exceed the number of components. The Korzhinskii-Thompson version takes into account the external imposition of chemical potentials of perfectly mobile components, and thereby reduces the maximum expectable number of minerals in a given rock to the number of inert components.Syn:Goldschmidt's phase rule.
