Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of interfacial systems

Abstract

The theory of non-equilibrium thermodynamics is applied to a multi-component system containing an interface using a method developed by Bedeaux, Albano, and Mazur. A singular mass density is allowed at the interface as well as singular densities of energy and entropy. All currents are also allowed to be singular at the interface. The conservation laws and the Gibbs relation for the entropy are used to derive the entropy production at the surface. Linear laws relating the fluxes and thermodynamic forces are presented. The theory is then applied to a two component system where one of the phases is a liquid and the other a low density gas and the boundary conditions at the free surface of the liquid derived. The boundary conditions include the conditions used by Levich in his theory of the damping of waves by surface-active substances, but include other effects as well.
