Popis: Giving greatest weight to the experimentally measured highest decomposition pressures and the enthalpies in one-phase fields, thermodynamicall y interconsistent integral and differential enthalpies (heat contents), heat capacities, entropies, and Gibbs free energies are derived for the crystalline one- and two-phase fields of the zirconium-hydrogen system for all stoichiometric compositions from Zr to ZrHi.25 and over the temperature range 298.15 to 1,200 °K. These properties are derived in analytical form, and in most cases are represented by numerical equations, with tabulation for zirconium and H/Zr atom ratios of 0.25, 0.50, 0.57, 0.75, 1.00, and 1.25. Most of the unique phase-field boundaries which are consistent with the derived properties are located and are compared with those previously reported. In the Zr-H system the enthalpies are shown to relate certain properties at different com­ positions as well as at different temperatures. Some of the various data show good interconsistency, while others reveal discrepancies which are discussed critically.
