Abstract

Various formulations of the material balance in solid-liquid equilibria have been discussed. It has been established that the melt fraction, as usually defined, is related to the corresponding fractional heat of melting in an approximate way only.

By expressing the material balance in terms of a more appropriate melt fraction, relationships for the thermodynamic description of two-component eutectic systems have been derived, and their correctness checked on the system benzoic acid-naphthalene.

Zusammenfassung

Es wurden zahlreiche Darstellungsarten von Stoffbilanzen bei Festkörper-Flüssigkeitsgleichgewichten diskutiert. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die auf gewohnte Weise definierte Schmelzenfraktion nur annähernd mit der korrespondierenden Schmelzwärme für diese Fraktion in Beziehung steht. Durch Formulieren der Stoff bilanz, ausgehend von einer geeigneteren Schmelzenfraktion konnten Beziehungen für eine thermodynamische Beschreibung von Zweikomponenten-Eutektika-Systemen erhalten werden. Deren Richtigkeit wurde am System Benzoesäure-Naphthalin überprüft.

Резюме

Обсуждены различные формулировки при составлении веществ енного баланса для равновесия типа твер дое тело—жидкость. Ус тановлено, что доля расплава, свя занная с дробной теплотой плавления, о бозначается только приблизительно. Выра зив вещественный бал анс на основе более подходя щей доли расплава, был и выведены соотношения для терм одинамического описания двухкомпон ентных систем и справ едливость которых была провере на на системе бензойная кислота-на фталин.
