(1976) Master’s Thesis, Rice University. <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/1911/104435">https://hdl.handle.net/1911/104435</a>.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/104435Recently extensive investigations have been directed toward the critical phenomena occurring in the liquid column of binary mixtures in a manner similar to the case of a pure component. This thesis presents a self-consistent analytic theory concerning these phenomena for "simple" binary systems. In particular, this thesis discusses, (1) a detailed derivation of the equation of state concerning the gravity-induced inhomogeneity (2) power law dependence of the coexistence curve (3) geometrical realization of the coexistence curve in a miscibility gap (4) thermodynamic stabilities in a binary system. In addition, the possibility of applying the present theory to thermodynamic measurements and the analogy between unitary and binary critical equilibria are discussed.57 ppengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
