الوصف: | Abstract The Soret effect describes the transport of constituent species in multicomponent mixtures that occurs due to a temperature gradient. This cross-coupling effect of heat and mass transfer has been successfully examined in binary liquid mixtures, while experiments with ternary mixtures are rare as they impose significant difficulties. We introduce a new and innovative concept, the Soret vector, for the characterization of Soret driven separation in ternary mixtures. The presentation of the component separation in the vector form offers several advantages: (i) to predict the Soret sign of a ternary mixture from knowledge of the Soret coefficients in binary subsystems; (ii) to control consistency of measured coefficients, this is especially important when results are obtained using different instruments and methods; (iii) to determine in which regions and which components cause the greatest separation; (iv) to identify the regions where the Soret separation is inaccessible for optical techniques or gravitationally unstable. We demonstrate these features by exploring ternary mixtures of different origins: (a) nearly ideal mixture composed by THN–IBB–nC12 when Soret coefficients in binary subsystems ( $$S_{T}^{bin}$$ S T bin ) are positive, (b) non-ideal mixture containing water and ethanol TEG–Wat–EtOH when $$S_{T}^{bin}$$ S T bin are positive and negative and (c) Tol–MeOH–Ch mixture containing demixing zone with positive and negative $$S_{T}^{bin}$$ S T bin . Our approach provides a promising systematic framework for the future research of an important and challenging problem of thermodiffusion in multicomponent liquids. |
