A comparative study has been carried out to understand the concentration dependence of thermodynamic properties such as, free energy of mixing, heat of mixing, entropy of mixing, activity  and microscopic properties, such as concentration fluctuation in long wavelength limit  and Warren-Cowley short range order parameter  of  In-based three liquid alloys (In-Pb , In-Tl and In-Zn) on the basis of self-association model. The analysis reveals that self-association model successfully explains the observed properties of the liquid alloys.  Positive deviation of the thermodynamic properties of the alloys from the Raoultian solution behaviour indicates that the alloys are weakly segregating in nature. The comparative assessment of the interaction energy and the microscopic properties suggests that the degree of segregation is greatest in In-Zn alloy and comparable in In-Pb and In-Tl alloys.BIBECHANA 13 (2016) 60-71

The large asymmetry observed in the properties of mixing of indium-sodium liquid alloy is discussed on the basis of quasi-lattice chemical model. A special attention is given to the concentration dependence of free energy of mixing, entropy of mixing and heat of mixing. The results explain the observed asymmetry in the properties of mixing of InNa liquid alloys around equi-atomic composition.

Flory’s model has been used for the study of thermodynamic properties of Cd-Bi liquid alloys. Free energy of mixing, heat of mixing, entropy of mixing and activity of Cd have been determined. All of these computed quantities have been found to be in a good agreement with observed values.Keywords: Flory’s model; thermodynamic properties; Cd-Bi liquid alloy; weakly interacting system; interaction energy parameter  DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/bibechana.v8i0.5693  BIBECHANA 8 (2012) 90-95

Thermodynamic properties, such as free energy of mixing, heat of mixing, entropy of mixing, activities and the microscopic structural properties, such as concentration fluctuation in long-wavelength limit and chemical short-range order parameter of Pb-Tl liquid alloy at 773 K have been studied on the basis of regular associated solution model. We have estimated the mole fractions of the complex and the unassociated atoms assuming the existence of  complex as energetically favoured in the liquid state. The compositional contributions of the heat of mixing of the species Pb and Tl and the heat of formation of the compound to the net enthalpy change have also been studied. The transport properties such as, viscosity and the ratio of mutual and intrinsic coefficients have been studied using different approaches. The surface concentration of Tl atoms has been computed and it has been employed to calculate the surface tension of Pb-Tl liquid alloy. Both the theoretical and the experimental values of the concentration fluctuation in long-wavelength limit are found to be less than the ideal value, revealing that the concerned system is hetero-coordinating in nature. The interaction energies are found to be temperature dependent and respective alloy is found to be weakly interacting system. BIBECHANA 13 (2016) 100-113

The quasi-chemical model based on pairwise interactions is used to study the concentration dependent thermodynamic properties of Li-Cd liquid alloys. Special attention is given to the concentration-concentration correlation function in the long wavelength limit [Scc(0)] and the chemical short-range order parameter (CSRO). The activity, free energy of mixing, Scc(0) and CSRO are computed as functions of temperature and concentration.

We have used a formalism that connects thermodynamic and transport properties. The formalism has been used to calculate the Gibb’s free energy of mixing, concentration fluctuations in the long wavelength limit, diffusion coefficients and viscosity in Cu-Tl, Cu-Pb and Sn-Tl binary liquid alloys at 1573K, 1473K and 723K respectively with aid of size effect and no size effect. Our calculations show that appreciable size ratio has more effects on the transport properties as compared to thermodynamic properties of homo-coordinated liquid alloys Cu-Tl, Cu-Pb and Sn-Tl.Journal of Institute of Science and Technology, 2015, 20(2): 140-144

In the present work we have considered the antimony-indium liquid alloy which shows anomaly as regards its heat of mixing and the concentration fluctuations in the long-wavelength limit. On the other hand, the free energy of mixing and the entropy of mixing are found to be symmetric about the equi-atomic composition. Such alloying behaviour has been tried to explain on the basis of conformal solution model. This is a statistical mechanical model based on the formation of complex within the liquid alloy. In this model besides the interaction between unlike atoms, that between each constituent element and the complex too is taken into account. In course of theoretical treatment the activity of antimony is also computed for different concentrations. Our results indicate that Sb-In alloys are thermodynamically most stable around the equi-atomic composition.

We report a formalism that connects thermodynamics and transport properties such as viscosity and diffusion coefficient which has been used to calculate the concentration dependence of free energy of mixing, concentration-concentration fluctuations in the long wavelength limit and concentration dependence of diffusion and viscosity in Cu-Sb and Cu-Sn binary liquid alloys at 1190K and 1400K respectively with aid of size effect and no size effect. Our calculations show that a reasonable degree of chemical order exists in both alloys system. It can be concluded that size mismatch has more effects on the transport properties of Cu-Sb hetero-coordinated system with greater size ratio than Cu-Sn hetero-coordinated system.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/bibechana.v12i0.11781BIBECHANA 12 (2015) 96-103

In this work, thermodynamic and microscopic properties of Ni-Pd liquid alloy at 1873 K have been studied using a simple theory of mixture. In thermodynamic properties, free energy of mixing, heat of mixing and entropy of mixing have been studied. To understand the structural behaviour of the alloy concentration fluctuation in long wavelength limit and chemical short range order parameter have been computed. The Ni-Pd melt at 1873 K is found to be slightly deviated from regular behaviour. The best estimated value of energy parameter is found to be positive. The alloy is found to be weakly segregating system. The symmetric behaviour of all functions has been well explained by the simple theory of mixing.

The simple statistical model or simple theory of mixing has been used to study the structural behavior of cadmium based alloys at their molten state at a temperature of 800 K by computing thermodynamic functions and structural functions. The thermodynamic functions include free energy of mixing (GM), activity (a), the heat of mixing (HM), and the entropy of mixing (SM). The structural functions include concentration fluctuation in the long-wavelength limit (SGG(0)) and Warren-Cowley short-range order parameter (α1). Interchange energy or interaction energy or ordering energy (ω) was calculated for the respective alloys system and found to be positive and temperature-dependent. Based on interchange energy (ω) and coordination number (Z), theoretical values of all the functions are calculated by applying the grand partition function. All the computed values for the mentioned functions are in good agreement with experimental values. For the cadmium based alloys, viz., Cd-Zn & Cd-In, both show the segregating in nature at temperature 800 K for the concentration of range 0.1 to 0.9, however, Cd-Zn is more segregating than Cd-In.
