Accurate determination of the vapor-liquid-solid contact line tension and the viability of Young equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we present a theoretical method to determine the line tension of nanodroplets on homogeneous substrates via decomposing the grand free energy into volume, interface and line contributions. With the obtained line tension, we check the viability of Young equation and find that the chemical potential dependence (or equivalently, droplet curvature dependence) of the interface tensions is crucial for the viability of modified Young equation at the nanometer scale. In particular, the linear relationship between the cosine of contact angle and the curvature of the contact line, which is often used to determine the line tension, is found to be incorrect at the nanometer scale.

Pressure Dependence of Liquid Vapor Pressure: An Improved Gibbs Prediction
A new model for the vapor phase of a pressurized liquid called "the cluster model: which is originally introduced in this work, along with an accurate equation of state for the liquid phase called the LIR, is used to derive an accurate equation for the vapor pressure of liquid as a function of external pressure. The chemical Potential of both phase have been found to be in good agreement wi...
متن کاملInfluence of line tension on spherical colloidal particles at liquid-vapor interfaces.
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging of isolated submicron dodecyltrichlorosilane coated silica spheres, immobilized at the liquid polystyrene- (PS-) air interface at the PS glass transition temperature, T(g), allows for determination of the contact angle θ versus particle radius R. At T(g), all θ versus R measurements are well described by the modified Young's equation for a line tension τ = ...

Accurate vapor-liquid equilibrium data have been obtained for ethyl acetate + 2-propanol and ethyl acetate + ethanol mixtures at 84.8 kPa, and the results are discussed thermodynamically. The vapor-liquid equilibrium data are correlated with redlich-Kister, Margules, Van-Laar and Ortega, equations the parameters and standard deviation of which are calculated and reported. The best correlati...
