Abstract We consider a three-phase model of strongly interacting matter, treating each phase as an ideal gas modified by a simple phenomenological interaction feature. For nuclear matter, we take into account the baryonic repulsion; for the quark-gluon plasma, we include the bag pressure; the constituent quark phase has a non-zero effective quark mass as well as an independent bag pressure. By studying which phase dominates thermodynamically in what region of temperature and baryon number density, we obtain a phase diagram for strongly interacting matter and gain some insight on the relation between deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration.
