The upper critical solution temperature (UCST) or upper consolute temperature is the critical temperature above which the components of a mixture are miscible in all proportions. solid state example is the palladium-hydrogen system which has a solid solution phase (H 2 in Pd) in equilibrium with a hydride phase (PdH n) below the UCST at 300 Â°C. Above this temperature there is a single solid solution phase.
centigrade (Noun). A centigrade temperature scale having the freezing point of water defined as 0u00B0 and its boiling point defined as 100u00B0 at standard atmospheric pressure. Now known as the Celsius scale.entigrade (Noun).
