Abstract

In this chapter we analyze some phase equilibrium problems using the model of a continuous system with an interface, which we explored in the previous chapter. We consider a system S consisting of two phases (that fill the regions C 1 and C 2) and an interface Σ. The body force b is assumed to derive from a potential energy U(x), so that b = −∇U.
