1.1 Introduction
Every substance in nature is made of matter, which may be organic or inorganic compounds and may exist in different phases, viz. solid, liquid or gaseous or in two or even more phases in equilibrium with each other. These materials, both organic or inorganic, are found in the natural systems like the human or animal body, stars, rivers and so on that we see around us and are also used to develop engineering systems. In this section we shall have a look at it.
