How to Calculate and Solve for Solid-liquid interface | Nucleation Energies
Last Updated on December 12, 2022
The image above represents solid – liquid interface.
To compute for solid – liquid interface, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Liquid Interface (γIL), Solid Interface (γSI) and cosθ.
The formula for calculating solid – liquid interface:
γSL = (γIL – γSI)/cosθ
Where:
γSI = Solid Interface
γSL = Solid – Liquid Interface
γIL = Liquid Interface
Let’s solve an example;
Find the solid – liquid interface when the liquid interface is 14, the solid interface is 2 and the cosθ is 4.
This implies that;
γIL = Liquid Interface = 14
γSI = Solid Interface = 2
cosθ = 4
γSL = (γIL – γSI)/cosθ
γSL = (14 – 2)/4
γSL = (12)/4
γSL = 3
Therefore, the solid – liquid interface is 3.
