Notes:
Certain systems are characterized by a nonuniform distribution of matter in space. Examples of such systems are liquid-fluid (1 to 3) and the solid-fluid interfaces (4). It is the main purpose of this paper to extend thethermodynamics of nonuniform systems to multicomponent reactive mixtures in the presence of an external field and to apply the above formalism to physical adsorption. This amounts to an extension of Hart's original analysis (5 to 7) as well as an improved analysis of the solid-fluid interface presented recently by Metiu and Ruckensteein (8). Furthermore, various approximate solutions for the solid-fluid interface are considered, all of which reduce properly to known results.
