Formation of ice lenses and frost heave
[1] I examine the morphology of ice growth in porous media. Intermolecular forces cause premelted fluid to migrate and supply segregated ice growth (e.g., lenses) and frost heave. I account for the net effect of these microscopic interactions in a homogenized model formulated in terms of fundamental physical properties and characteristics of the porous medium that can be measured; no ad hoc par...
متن کاملOn Localized Vapor Pressure Gradients Governing Condensation and Frost Phenomena.
Interdroplet vapor pressure gradients are the driving mechanism for several phase-change phenomena such as condensation dry zones, interdroplet ice bridging, dry zones around ice, and frost halos. Despite the fundamental nature of the underlying pressure gradients, the majority of studies on these emerging phenomena have been primarily empirical. Using classical nucleation theory and Becker-Dör...
متن کاملExperimental Evaluation Of The Frost Formation
Frost formation on an evaporator causes significant problems by decreasing inlet air flow. It is important for a precise prediction to understand the dominant factor of the frost formation. In this paper, the frost layer on the cold plate is experimentally obtained with different velocities while maintaining a surface temperature at -20 degrees Celsius. The mass and height of the frost layer is...
متن کاملFrost flower formation on sea ice and lake ice
[1] Frost flowers are clusters of ice crystals found on freshly formed sea ice and occasionally on frozen lakes. They belong to a class of vapour-related phenomena that includes freezing fog, hoar frost and dew. It has hitherto been supposed that they form by condensation from a supersaturated atmosphere or from water wicked up through porous sea ice. Here we show that they can form on solid, p...
متن کاملFormation and Aging of Incipient Thin Film Wax-Oil Gels
A fundamental study of the deposition and aging of a thin incipient wax-oil gel that is formed during the flow of waxy oils in cooled pipes was performed. The solubility of high molecular weight paraffins in naphthenic, aromatic or paraffinic sol®ents is ®ery low and decreases rapidly with decreasing temperature. This property of the paraffins leads to the formation of gels of complex morpholog...
