热力学是研究各种有热效应的物理和化学现象的科学。在物理和化学领域内,热力学已成为理论基础的重要组成部分。五十年代以来,国外有不少学者把热力学理论用于研究矿物、岩石和地球化学问题,提出了一些新的理论课题。近十多年来,国外公开发表的论文中,有热力学方面的内容已占有相当大的比例。这是由于积累了大量矿物热力学数据,同时也由 Thermodynamics is a science that studies a variety of physical and chemical phenomena that have thermal effects. In physics and chemistry, thermodynamics has become an important part of the theoretical foundations. Since the 1950s, many foreign scholars have applied thermodynamic theory to the study of minerals, rocks and geochemistry, and put forward some new theoretical topics. In the past ten years or so, there have been quite a large proportion of thermodynamics in overseas published papers. This is due to the accumulation of a large number of mineral thermodynamic data, but also by
