Hi Dmitry (and fellow ternary feldspar activity tweakers)l
there is an error in the table of mixing parameters in the published
Fuhrmann and Lindsley paper. The values for OrAn and AnOr are in the wrong
order. This has never been officially corrected but most people using the
model have realised the error. The programs from Lindsley and from Nekvasil
use the correct values. The distributed version of the TWQ database uses
the published (i.e. incorrect) values but in addition uses a different
ternary interaction formulation that results in calculation of
significantly different component activities for K-feldspar in HT ternary
feldspar compositions.
