A simple thermodynamic model is developed foe silicate melts in the system CaO-Na2O-K2O-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O (CNKASH). The Holland & Powell (Journal of Metamorphic Geology, 16, 289-302, 1998) internally consistent via the incorporation of the experimentally determined melting relationships in unary and binary subsystems of CNKASH. The predictive capability of the model is evaluated via the experimental data in the ternary and quaternary subsystems. The resulting dataset, with the software THERMOCALC, is then used to calculate melting relationships for haplogranitic compositions. Predictions of the P-T stabilities of assemblages in water-saturated and -undersaturated bulk compositions are illustrated. It is now possible to make useful calculations of the melting behaviour of appropriate composition under crustal conditions.
