Description

Molar entropy of mixing, Delta SM expressed as a function of atoms per particle is:-

Equation 1

where Na is Avogadro's number, mA is atoms per powder particle of A, mB is atoms per particle of B, and x is the mole fraction of B.

Molar enthalpy of mixing, Delta HM, is expressed as:-

Equation 2

where Omega is the regular solution parameter, 2delta is the boundary thickness (two monolayer) and SV is grain boundary area per unit volume.

Molar interface energy, Delta HI, is expressed as:-

Equation 3

where Vm is the molar volume and sigma is the interface energy per unit area.

The molar free energy, Delta GM, is then expressed as:-

Equation 4

Example

1. Program text

Complete program

2. Program data

  1. OMEGA = 100, KTEMP = 1000
  2. OMEGA = 0, KTEMP = 1000
  3. OMEGA = -100, KTEMP = 1000

3. Program results

Free energy, DELTAG, for different particle sizes (atoms per particle), M_A are:

  1. Omega = 100, mole fraction, x=0.5, temperature, T=1000K

       M_A=10^8, G=12.9669 J/mol
       M_A=10^2, G=12.9043 J/mol
       M_A=1,    G= -5.435 KJ/mol.
    
  2. Omega = 0, mole fraction, x=0.5, temperature, T=1000K

       M_A=10^8, G=12.2617 J/mol
       M_A=10^2, G= -57.6181 J/mol
       M_A=1,    G= -5.763 KJ/mol
    
  3. Omega = -100, mole fraction, x=0.5, temperature, T=1000K

        M_A=10^8, G=11.5564
        M_A=10^2, G= -128.14 J/mol
        M_A=1,    G= -6.090 KJ/mol
