Thermodynamic forces in highly curved fluid interfaces

The identification of the force distribution in curved interfaces as a thermodynamic force [Baus and Lovett, J. Chem. Phys. 101, 377 (1995)] can be interpreted as a relation between the force distribution and the grand canonical free energy difference between two distinct systems. Using this interpr...

Zusammenfassung:The identification of the force distribution in curved interfaces as a thermodynamic force [Baus and Lovett, J. Chem. Phys. 101, 377 (1995)] can be interpreted as a relation between the force distribution and the grand canonical free energy difference between two distinct systems. Using this interpretation, molecular expressions are developed for the force distribution in cylindrical and spherical interfaces that remain valid for very highly curved interfaces.
