Fundamentals of Thermodynamics 8e
... If it is a liquid initially, it may become a vapor when it is heated or a solid when it is cooled. Thus, we speak of the different phases of a substance. A phase is defined as a quantity of matter that is homogeneous throughout. When more than one phase is present, the phases are separated from each ...
