Key words: scaling equation of state, nonequilibrium solution, gravitational effect, consolute critical point PACS: 05.70.Jk, 64.30.+t, 64.60.Ht, 64.70.Ja Several behaviour features of inhomogeneous liquids which are not observed in homogeneous systems had been detected for the first time earlier while studying the kinetics of equilibrium establishment for inhomogeneous liquid system under gravity close to the critical point for temperatures above the critical one (T > T c). There has been discovered nonmonotonous temperature dependence of equilibrium time te(∆T ) for inhomogeneous substance under gravity [1–4]. The greatest time te = max corresponds to a temperature ∆T > 0 – not to the critical temperature ∆T = T − Tc = 0. It was proved for the first time that time te depends not only on relaxation time τ(ρc) ∼ D−1 ∼ ∆T−ν [5–7] but also on the thickness of the layer ∆z of liquid with critical density ρc which varies with temperature as ∆z ∼ ∆T βδ(te ∼ τ∆z ∼ (∆T )βδ−ν [1,2]. There has been obtained the nonmonotonous altitude dependence of relaxation time τ(z) of refractive index gradient dn/dz of inhomogeneous liquid under gravity [8,9]. Maximum value of the τ(z) does not correspond to the level z = 0 with critical density ρc of the investigated substance but to a height z 6= 0, in the vicinity of which isotherms of refractive index gradient dn/dz intersect each other. It is close to this intersection point that magnitudes of c© A.D.Alekhin, Yu.L.Ostapchuk 449 A.D.Alekhin, Yu.L.Ostapchuk nonequilibrium values dn/dz slowly vary with time when the system is passing to the equilibrium state. It was also detected for the first time [8,9] that the relaxation properties of inhomogeneous liquid at a certain height z are determined not by a single relaxation time but by the spectrum of times, which characterizes the whole inhomogeneous system under gravity. The purpose of the present paper is to continue these experimental investigations for detection of kinetics peculiarities of equilibrium establishment in spatially inho- mogeneous liquid systems close to the critical point; to develop the scaling equation of state for such a nonequilibrium system in external gravitational field. Kinetics of equilibrium establishment for inhomogeneous binary methanol-hex- ane solution under gravity has been studied in the work by using refractometry technique at different temperatures above consolute critical temperature. Routine of the experiment and the experimental equipment were described in detail in the works [8,10]. The binary methanol-hexane solution with critical mass fraction of methanol c1 = 0.314 [11] was poured into temperature-controlled optical cell with parallel glass. The mass of the solution was such that the vapour-gas phase was held over the investigated substance at all temperatures under study. The height of liquid in the cell was 2 cm. Solution was quickly heated for 1.5–2 hour initially from double- phase state at room temperature T = 293 K to the consolute critical temperature Tc = 307.1 K. The temperature, at which the phase interface of the solution com- ponents disappeared was taken for the critical one. Refractive index gradient and intensity of scattered light at this temperature at the height z = 0, at which critical values of inhomogeneous substance of density and concentration are realized, attain the maximum value. The investigated solution had been thermostated at this tem- perature with an accuracy ±0.01 K for a long time, almost a day, until the refractive index gradient dn/dz ceased to vary at all heights of inhomogeneous solution. Ther- mostating system allowed to maintain the height gradient of temperature not higher than dT/dz = (1 ÷ 2) · 10−3 K/cm [12,13], which were measured by two resistance thermometers set in the top end and the bottom of the cell. After that the given inhomogeneous but equilibrium system was quickly heat- ed for 10–15 min from the critical temperature to various temperatures T i > Tc and thermostated for a long time until it turned into another equilibrium state at temperature Ti. The period of time, after which the value dn/dz(z) practically didn’t change, was taken for the equilibrium time te [14]. These temperature jumps ∆T = Ti − Tc differed from each other and varied in the range of ∆T from 0.1 K to 20 K. The altitude dependence of the refractive index gradient dn/dz(z) of the inves- tigated solution was continuously varying with the time t while thermostating. This change of dn/dz(z) with time t at the temperature ∆T = Ti − Tc = 3.96 K is given as an example in figure 1. Figure 1 shows kinetics of change of symmetrized values of refractive index gradient dn/dz(z, t) = 1/2 · (dn/dz(z > 0) + dn/dz(z < 0) at different heights z of the cell with inhomogeneous methanol-hexane solution at the temperature 450 Dynamic scaling equation of state for nonequilibrium solution. . . (a) (b) Figure 1. Kinetics of change of altitude dependence of symmetrized values of refractive index gradient dn/dz and concentration gradient dc/dz for inhomoge- neous methanol-hexane solution at temperature ∆T = 3.96 K: (a) 3-dimensional surface dn/dz(z, t); (b) sections of the dn/dz(z, t) surface by planes t = const for different times t after the beginning of thermostating. ∆T = Ti − Tc = 3.96 K as the system approaches equilibrium state. The values dn/dz(z) were taken at heights z symmetric with respect to the level z = 0, where the critical values of density and concentration of solution are realized. The action of the mentioned temperature gradient dT/dz = (1÷2)·10−3 K/cm at this temperature cannot considerably influence the magnitude of refractive index gradient and the ki- netics of its change with time according to calculations [13]. As it is obvious from the figure, with time t increasing, the value of refractive index gradient at the height z = 0, where critical values of density and concentration are realized, decreases; and at the heights z > 0.2 cm it increases on the contrary. This results in intersection of altitude dependencies dn/dz(z, t) in the vicinity of the height z ≈ 0.2 cm. By means of Lorentz-Lorenz formula [15] n2 − 1 n2 + 2 = ρs(c1∆r + r2) (1) these data (figure 1) were used to analyze kinetics behaviour of establishment of equilibrium concentration gradient values of the investigated solution (figure 1): dc(z) dz = 1 ρs∆r · 6n (n2 + 2)2 · dn(z) dz . (2) Here c1 is mass concentration of methanol in the solution; ∆r = r1 − r2; r1, r2 are specific refractions of the components; ρs is density of the solution. 451 A.D.Alekhin, Yu.L.Ostapchuk (a) (b) Figure 2. Kinetics of change of altitude dependence of concentration for methanol-hexane solution at temperature ∆T = 3.96 K: (a) 3-dimensional sur- face (c− cc)/cc(z, t); (b) sections of the (c− cc)/cc(z, t) surface by planes t = const for different times t after the beginning of thermostating. Concentration deviations from critical value (value of order parameter of solu- tion) ∆c∗(z) = (c− cc)/cc = 1/cc · z ∫ 0 dc/dz dz were obtained by integrating the derivative dc/dz(z, t) over height z. Therefore, altitude distribution of the concen- tration c(z, t) = cc±∆c(z, t) was obtained as well. These data are shown in figure 2. The above presented experimental data of kinetics of equilibrium establishment of concentration gradient values dc/dz(z, t) and concentrations ∆c(z, t) were used to build-up dynamic scaling equations of state for substance under gravity close to the critical point for temperatures above the critical one T > Tc. The analysis of alti- tude and time dependencies behaviour of the obtained data dc/dz(z, t) and ∆c(z, t) has allowed to suppose that similar equilibrium properties of substance for certain temperatures θ = (T − Tc)/Tc correspond to these nonequilibrium characteristics of solution at different times t. This suggestion follows from qualitatively the same time behaviour of nonequi- librium values dn/dz(z, t) (figure 1) and temperature dependencies of equilibrium values dn/dz(z, θ) [16,17]. The analysis of the obtained data has showed that magni- tude dn/dz(z, t) at the level z = 0 decreases by power relation dn/dz(z = 0, t) ∼ t−x (x = 0.543) with time increasing. At the levels z > z0 ≈ 0.2 cm with time t increas- ing the value dn/dz also increases. The same temperature dependence of equilibrium values of derivative dn/dz(θ) and intensity of scattered light I ∼ dρ/dµ(θ) at the different heights of inhomogeneous system is confirmed by all existent experimen- tal data [16,17] and theoretical accounts of gravity effect [17] based on the modern theory of phase transition. 452 Dynamic scaling equation of state for nonequilibrium solution. . . Figure 3. Relationship between time, for which altitude distributions dn/dz(z, t) of nonequilibrium liquid correspond, and respective temperature of equilibrium states of inhomogeneous liquid. Proceeding from these qualitatively same time dn/dz(z, t) ∼ t−x and temper- ature dependencies dn/dz(z, θ) ∼ θ−γ for the case dn/dz(z, ti) = dn/dz(z, θi) it is possible to propose the following relation between temperature θ i of equilibrium value dn/dz(z, θi) and time ti of nonequilibrium values dn/dz(z, ti): dn/dz(z = 0, ti) dn/dz(z = 0, te) = ( ti te ) −x = dn/dz(z = 0, θi) dn/dz(z = 0, θe) = ( θi θe ) −γ . (3) Here dn/dz(z = 0, te) ≡ dn/dz(z = 0, θe) are experimentally measured equilibrium values of refractive index gradient at the temperature ∆T = 3.96 K, where time te = 31.25 hour. From expression (3) the relation between ti and θi follows: θi(ti) = θe ( ti te )x/γ = C · tni . (4) This dependence is shown in figure 3. It results from these data that coefficient C = θe/t x/γ e = 2.82 · 10−3 hour−n and exponent n = x/γ = 0.434. Given this, based on the received data dn/dz(z, t) there were suggested the scaling equations of a nonequilibrium fluid under gravity in a differential and integral view: dc dz = θ−γ · f1(z ∗) = t−nγ · f ′ 1(z ∗′), (5) ∆c∗ = θβ · f2(z ∗) = tnβ · f ′ 2(z ∗′). (6) Here f1(z ∗) and f ′ 1(z ∗′); f2(z ∗) and f ′ 2(z ∗′) are scaling functions of the scaling argu- ments z∗ = z/θβδ and z∗′ = z/tnβδ respectively (here γ ≈ 5/4; β ≈ 1/3; δ ≈ 5 are critical exponents of the fluctuation theory [5–7]. 453 A.D.Alekhin, Yu.L.Ostapchuk (a) (b) Figure 4. The scaling functions of concentration gradient (a) and concentration (b) for all investigated values of concentrations (∆c∗ = 0÷ 0.8). If the scaling hypothesis [5–7] exists for nonequilibrium systems close to critical point, the transition to the scaling equation of state should transform 3-dimensional surfaces dc/dz(z, t) and ∆c∗(z, t) to the scaling lines f ′ 1(z ∗′) and f ′ 2(z ∗′). The view of these scaling functions is shown in figure 4a,b. To build-up these functions there have been used experimental data dc/dz(z, t) and ∆c∗(z, t) in the whole range of the investigated concentrations: from the small ones ∆c∗(z, t) 6 (0 ÷ 0.3) ≪ 1 to the large ones ∆c∗(z, t) 6 (0.4 ÷ 0.8). It has had an influence on the build-up of a scaling equation of state. As it is visible from figure 4 the surfaces dc/dz(z, t) and ∆c∗(z, t) are not transformed into single lines in the whole range of heights z and times t. It is due to the fact that the Ginzburg criterion Gi ≪ 1 [19] is defaulted for large concentrations ∆c∗(z, t) 6 (0.4÷0.8) 6 1 according to [5]. That is, the system falls out from fluctuation area and cannot be described by scaling equation of state. That is why we have selected from the experimental data dc/dz(z, t) and ∆c∗(z, t) the range of heights z and times t, for which only small concentrations ∆c∗(z, t) 6 0.3 ≪ 1 correspond. The scaling functions f ′ 1(z ∗′) and f ′ 2(z ∗′), built-up specially for this range of concentrations, are shown in figures 5a,b. As it is obvious, it is only for these small concentrations that the three-dimension- al surfaces dc/dz(z, t) and ∆c∗(z, t) really converge to the single lines f ′ 1(z ∗′) and f ′ 2(z ∗′) of the scaling argument z∗′ = z/tnβδ. These lines can be described by the following scaling equations: f ′ 1(z ∗′) = ∞ ∑ n=0 An(z ∗′)2n ≈ A0 −A1(z ∗′)2 + A2(z ∗′)4 + . . . , (7) f ′ 2(z ∗′) = ∞ ∑ n=0 Bn(z ∗′)2n+1 ≈ B0(z ∗′)− B1(z ∗′)3 + . . . . (8) 454 Dynamic scaling equation of state for nonequilibrium solution. . . (a) (b) Figure 5. The scaling functions of concentration gradient (a) and concentration (b) for small values of concentrations ∆c∗ = (0÷ 0.3) ≪ 1. Here are A0 = (1.31± 0.04) · 10−2 hournγ/mm; A1 = (7.95± 0.05) · 10−2 hour2nβδ+nγ/mm3; A2 = (0.26± 0.01) hour4nβδ+nγ/mm5; B0 = (0.95± 0.03) hournβδ−nβ/mm; B1 = (1.2± 0.2) hour3nβδ−nβ/mm3. In figures 1, 2 these surfaces are marked by thick lines, which bound concentrations ∆c∗ 6 0.3 ≪ 1. Thus, the analysis of the obtained results has shown that in the range of small concentrations ∆c∗ = (0 ÷ 0.3) ≪ 1 kinetics of equilibrium establishment in inho- mogeneous nonequilibrium methanol-hexane system under gravity can be described by dynamic scaling equations of state of equilibrium systems [5]. Hence, based on the relation (4) it is possible to predict in advance not only nonequilibrium values dc/dz(z, t) and ∆c∗(z, t) at different times t, but also to determine scaling functions f1(z ∗) and f2(z ∗) (5), (6) for equilibrium solution under gravity close to critical point.
