In the present paper the wettability of a liquid metal by another liquid metal is studied theoretically, based on a recent model on interfacial energies in metallic systems. It appears that in all practical cases the liquid metal with a lower surface tension will perfectly wet (with a zero contact angle) the liquid metal with a higher surface tension practically at any temperature, and therefore will encapsulate it. As a result, the first order surface phase transition will start in monotectic metallic systems at 0 K. The phenomenon of the surface phase transition is considered in some details, based on a recent paper.

AbstractThe problem of applicability of thermodynamics to small objects has been investigated. It is shown that the Gibbs surface phase method may be extended to nanoparticles if the effective surface tension (the specific excess free energy) is interpreted as a function of the particle radius.

Bulk, surface and interface thermodynamics of immiscible liquid alloys are considered within a unified theoretical framework. For bulk thermodynamic functions the exponential and the combined linear-exponential equations are discussed, obeying the 4th law of thermodynamics. Surface phase transition is discussed in details. For surface and interface thermodynamics the monolayer Butler equation is compared to the multilayer model. During further assessment of bulk thermodynamic data of immiscible liquid alloys their experimentally measured surface tension and interfacial energy should be also taken into account, coupled with the models presented here.

Abstract The paper addresses a numerical approach for calculating three-fluid hydrodynamics on Eulerian grids with taking into account surface tension and viscous effects. The medium considered consists of three different compressible fluids separated with interfaces. The fluids are assumed to be immiscible. The three-fluid flow is described by the reduced equilibrium model derived from the non-equilibrium three-phase model by performing an asymptotic analysis in the limit of zero relaxation time. To simulate surface tension effects, we extend the continuum surface force (CSF) model of two-fluid incompressible flow to the case of compressible three-fluid flow. A thermodynamically consistent surface energy of the compressible three-fluid flow is obtained by means of splitting the surface tension between distinct fluids into pairs of specific phase related surface tensions. Some aspects of the numerical method for solving the system of governing equations of the considered three-fluid model are discussed. Numerical results presented demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed model in simulating dynamics of interfaces and surface tension effects.
