Notes:
Gradient theory of equilibrium fluid microstructures is extended to nonequilibrium isothermal processes. The theory is applied to steady diffusion across liquid-liquid interfaces. It is shown that local equilibrium across a fluid-fluid interface is maintained even in the presence of very high diffusion fluxes and that the concept of an interface acting as an applied potential energy for a diffusing species is of limited utility. The theory is suited for practical, semiempirical calculations of structure, stress, and isothermal transport in systems containing interfaces.
