Abstract
The thermodynamic, structural, surface and transport properties of PbSn eutectic alloys at 1050 K have been analyzed employing self association model. The model parameters have been evaluated on utilizing the experimental data of free energy of mixing of PbSn liquid alloys at 1050 K. For the validation of the model parameters, the calculated values of the excess free energy of mixing and activity of the components of PbSn liquid alloys have been compared with the experimentally measured data. Further, the estimated model parameters have been used to determine the thermodynamic functions i.e. the free energy of mixing, thermodynamic activity, entropy of mixing and heat (or enthalpy) of mixing, and the structural properties such as the concentration fluctuations and shortrange order parameter. The theoretical and experimental values are compared. A good agreement is observed. Again, the surface properties of PbSn liquid alloys at 1050 K have been investigated using the Butler model in the framework of self association model. The calculated values of surface tension of PbSn liquid alloys at 1050 K are in reasonable agreement with the data available in the literature. The transport properties like the diffusivity and viscosity of PbSn liquid alloys at 1050 K have been theoretically analyzed. For the computation of viscosity, the simple formula developed by Moelwin- Hughes has been used in conjunction with self association model. The present study reveals that PbSn eutectic liquid alloys at 1050 K are segregating in nature. Further, the model parameters are found to depend on temperature.Keywords: Gibbsfree energy; concentration fluctuations; short-range order parameter; surface tension; diffusivity; viscosity
