This work is aimed to advance the understanding of interfacial saturation phenomena for liquid metal surfaces. The interactions between a liquid metal drop and an oxidising atmosphere can be described by a physical-mathematical description of the liquid metal interface/surrounding environment interface evolution. The closed system and equilibrium assumption were rejected and reference was made to a liquid metal drop as an open system and its related time variation conditions (stationary drop assumption). A better demonstration of the experimental relevance of evolution times towards the stationary condition, in particular for liquid tin is done.

Abstract

This work is aimed to advance the understanding of interfacial saturation phenomena for liquid metal surfaces. The interactions between a liquid metal drop and an oxidising atmosphere can be described by a physical-mathematical description of the liquid metal interface/surrounding environment interface evolution. The closed system and equilibrium assumption were rejected and reference was made to a liquid metal drop as an open system and its related time variation conditions (stationary drop assumption). A better demonstration of the experimental relevance of evolution times towards the stationary condition, in particular for liquid tin is done.
