Abstract
The present paper deals with the integration of the famous Laplace equation resulting in the expressions of full mass and weight of the liquid menisci in the system “melt–crystal” during the crystal growth process by Stepanov (EFG) technique. The problem for the cases of growing ribbon, cylindrical rod, cylindrical tube, rod of arbitrary cross-section and tube of arbitrary inner and outer cross-sections is solved. The problem for a hydrostatic approximation of the menisci of growing crystals is solved and it is shown via an analysis of the full energy functional, that the hydrodynamic factor is too small to be considered in the automated crystal growth systems.
