An interface between two miscible fluids is transient, existing as a non-equilibrium state before complete molecular mixing is reached. However, during the existence of such an interface, which typically be at short timescales, composition…

Abstract. The present work considers a change in the momentum under the transfer of a solution through the interface. It is shown that pressure related to the partial volumes of components arises in a solution under diffusion. As a result,…
