Influence of radiation on the phase transition temperature in liquids

Abstract

The influence of radiation on the thermodynamic properties of liquid systems that are governed by the radiation-induced change in the chemical potentials of the liquid and its components has been studied. The irradiation of coexisting phases in the stationary state is shown to result in a shift of the phase transition point parameters. The temperature shift of the first-order phase transition under the influence of radiation is evaluated with regard for both the entropy and interaction factors in the chemical potential of the system.
