Hydrodynamics of films of surface-active substances (Q794532)

The author derives equations describing the motion of a film of surface- active substance at the interface of two 3-dimensional phases under the following assumptions: 1) the film consists of m, 2-dimensional phases and n components that react chemically with one another, 2) 3-dimensional phases are single phases consisting of n components, which can be adsorbed and desorbed at the interface, 3) interface is an open system. The methods of thermodynamics of nonequilibrium process have been used to obtain the expressions for relevant parameters of the system.
