Tóm tắt

METPET is a package of three interactive microcomputer (IBM PC or compatible) programs. FILEMAN is a utility program to create, edit and print ‘composition files’, i.e. files containing the records of chemical compositions of minerals or rocks, expressed in terms of primary chemical components. PROJECT recalculates selected compositions in terms of new (secondary) components. It then projects these compositions onto a subspace defined by two, three or more of the secondary components, first giving a plot on the screen and then, if requested by the user, on a selected graphic device. REACT calculates a possible set of independent reactions between a set of phases, whether pure compounds or solutions. Any linear combination of the independent reactions can be calculated on request.
