Abstract
A unified description of three types of two-phase interfaces (vapor–liquid, solid–vapor, and solid–liquid) at a vapor–liquid meniscus inside a slit-like pore are considered on the basis of the lattice gas model. This approach allows equally accurate calculations of molecular distributions in heterogeneous distributed models of transitional regions at all interfaces. It is assumed that pore walls cannot be deformed, and they create an external field for a stratifying fluid. Adsorption films form at solid–mobile phase interfaces due to the potential of adsorbate–adsorbent interaction. The state of the coexisting vapor-in-a-pore and liquid-in-a-pore phases satisfy the equality of the chemical potential that excludes the appearance of metastable states. Conditions for distinguishing regions of the system that lie beyond solid–liquid–vapor three-phase contact are discussed. A procedure is discussed for introducing a contact angle into a liquid–vapor–solid pore wall system through molecular distributions of the adsorbate in a slit-like pore. Dependences of the width of the considered interfaces and the contact angle as a function of the pore width and pore wall potential are found.
