INTRINSIC PATTERNS IN ANISOTROPIC MULTICOMPONENT DIFFUSIVE SYSTEMS AT EQUILIBRIUM

摘要

A new class of intrinsic concentration patterns in anisotropic multicomponent fluids is described. These patterns occur in closed, isothermal, isobaric, non-chemically reacting mixtures. They correspond to thermodynamic equilibrium states and appear outside of the spinodal domain. Their appearance involves at least three pairs of unlike molecules (ternary mixtures). [References: 33]
