Abstract
Here we describe current approaches to modelling liquids in CALPHAD. available experimental methods and results, and considerations in the use of molecular simulation and first-principles methods in thermodynamic modelling of liquids. We examine the two-state model in detail and compare results with experiment and theory where available.
