Thermophysical and Physicochemical Properties

Physicochemical (:binary alloy) module

The module embraces physicochemical properties (surface tension and dynamic viscosity) in the liquid state for corresponding binary alloys of all the metallic elements in the periodic table.

The calculation algorithms are based on thermodynamic theory connected to physicochemical assessment data, as well as on regression formulas of experimental data.

Note: Right-clicking on the periodic table panel initiates popup menu to display list of the elements and their corresponding basic properties.

Input data

· Composition of selected solute

User should apply the recommended composition ranges given below. Going beyond these ranges does not prevent the calculations but the program restricts itself to these composition ranges.

· Nominal composition 0.01 to 20 [wt%] of solutes

· Data of the Thermo-Prop data bank

· Program’s module contains physicochemical data and interaction parameter data

· Interaction parameter describes the chemical interaction between solvent and solute atoms

· Automatic input, not for user

Output data

· Physicochemical data

· Surface tension

· Viscosity

After the execution of program, the results are displayed as xxxx%, where xxxx refers to alloy designation; % refers to nominal liquid composition of solute [wt%].
