Sommario

In questa nota l'Autore presenta una trattazione generale ed unificata degli equilibri di fase del primo ordine per “corpi classici” come quelli definiti da Truesdell e Toupin in[3].

L'Autore perviene ad un sistema di equazioni alle derivate parziali (equazioni di Clapeyron generalizzate) del quale si dimostra la integrabilità.

In particolare, si deducono le equazioni che governano gli equilibri di fase “polarizzati”.

Inoltre si ottengono le equazioni che regolano l'equilibrio di fase per una miscela fluida a n componenti; in questo caso si dimostra l'equivalenza delle equazioni con la relazione statica di Gibbs-Duhem.

Summary

In this note the Author gives a general and unified treatment of first order phase equilibria for “classical bodies” like those considered by Truesdell and Toupin in[3].

The Author reaches a system of partial differential equations (generalized Clapeyron equations) the conditions of whose solution are shown always to be satisfied.

In particular, the Author derives the equations governing the “polarized” phase equilibrium for a fluid.

Besides the equations ruling the phase equilibrium for a two phase n-component fluid mixture are given and the equivalence with the statical Gibbs-Duhem relation is shown.
