..., the benefit of the added MEPCM particles depends on the inlet temperature, which has to be slightly below the theoretical melting temperature, and on the subcooling temperature after the heat supply, which has to be sufficiently low to guarantee that the entire phase change material solidifies again before...

... is smaller. The gravity scaling parameter for the heat flux in the buoyancy dominated boiling regime developed in the previous work is updated to account for subcooling effect. Based on this scaling parameter and the transition criteria, a methodology for predicting heat flux in the surface tension dominated...

...Yeong-Cheng Lai; Chun-Liang Lai; Hsieh-Chen Tsai This study aims to investigate theoretically the growth of a spherical nucleus due to solidification in an infinite domain of a subcooled melt. The effects on the spherical growth due, respectively, to the subcooling, the Gibbs–Thomson condition...
