The image of solid interface is represented below. To calculate solid interface, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Liquid Interface (γIL), Solid – Liquid Interface (γSL) and cosθ.
The formula for calculating solid interface:
γSI = γIL – γSLcosθ
Where:
γSI = Solid Interface
γSL = Solid – Liquid Interface
And then, γIL = Liquid Interface
Let’s solve an example;
Find the solid interface when the liquid interface is 2, the solid – liquid interface is 10 and the cosθ is 5.
This implies that;
γSL = Solid – Liquid Interface = 10
γIL = Liquid Interface = 2
cosθ = 5
γSI = γIL – γSLcosθ
That is, γSI = 2 – 10(5)
γSI = 2 – (50)
γSI = -48
Therefore, the solid interface is -48.
