## Modules
| Electric Properties of Phases
| Computation of the electric properties of phases.
| Transport Properties for Species in Phases
| These classes provide transport properties.
| Thermodynamic Properties
| These classes are used to compute the thermodynamic properties of phases of matter.

## Classes
class | Phase
| Class Phase is the base class for phases of matter, managing the species and elements in a phase, as well as the independent variables of temperature, mass density (compressible substances) or pressure (incompressible substances), species mass/mole fraction, and other generalized forces and intrinsic properties (such as electric potential) that define the thermodynamic state.

class | ThermoPhase
| Base class for a phase with thermodynamic properties. More...

## Detailed Description

These classes are used to represent the composition and state of a single phase of matter.

Together these classes form the basis for describing the species and element compositions of a phase as well as the stoichiometry of each species, and for describing the current state of the phase. They do not in themselves contain Thermodynamic equation of state information. However, they do comprise all of the necessary background functionality to support thermodynamic calculations (see Thermodynamic Properties).
