This study rigorously justifies surface conservation laws for diffuse interfaces, offering a systematic thermodynamic approach to model interfacial layers and transport phenomena.

Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Surface conservation laws are crucial for modeling dynamic interfaces.
  • Current models are well-established for sharp interfaces but less so for diffuse interfaces.
  • Existing methods often rely on phenomenological derivations rather than systematic approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a mathematically rigorous foundation for surface conservation laws at diffuse interfaces.
  • To develop a systematic method for deriving interfacial layer structures using nonequilibrium thermodynamics.
  • To formulate surface conservation laws in terms of chemical potentials.

Main Methods:

  • Asymptotic analysis of boundary layer transport processes.
  • Application of nonequilibrium thermodynamics.

    • Main Results:

    • A rigorous mathematical justification for surface conservation laws at diffuse interfaces.
    • General formulae for surface and normal fluxes in diffuse interfaces.
    • A systematic method for deriving interfacial layer structures and formulating conservation laws.

    Conclusions:

    • Surface conservation laws can be rigorously applied to diffuse interfaces.
    • Nonequilibrium thermodynamics provides a systematic framework for interfacial modeling.
    • The derived methods are applicable to various transport phenomena, including diffusive and electrochemical processes.
