Solid-liquid phase changes with different densities

Solid liquid phase changes with different densities

In this paper we present a new thermodynamically consistent phase transition model describing the evolution of a liquid substance, e.g., water, in a rigid container Ω when we freeze the container. Since the density ̺2 of ice with volume fraction β2 , is lower than the density ̺1 of water with volume fraction β1 , experiments for instance the freezing of a glass bottle filled with water show that ...

Crystallization and Phase Changes in Paracetamol from the Amorphous Solid to the Liquid Phase

For the case of paracetamol, we show how terahertz time-domain spectroscopy can be used to characterize the solid and liquid phase dynamics. Heating of supercooled amorphous paracetamol from 295 K in a covered sample under vacuum leads to its crystallization at 330 K. First, form III is formed followed by the transformation of form III to form II at 375 K, to form I at 405 K, and finally meltin...

Solid Solution Formation during Liquid Phase Sintering

Hyperdoping silicon with selenium: solid vs. liquid phase epitaxy

Chalcogen-hyperdoped silicon shows potential applications in silicon-based infrared photodetectors and intermediate band solar cells. Due to the low solid solubility limits of chalcogen elements in silicon, these materials were previously realized by femtosecond or nanosecond laser annealing of implanted silicon or bare silicon in certain background gases. The high energy density deposited on t...

Formation of liquid and solid products from liquid phase pyrolysis.

The aim of the present work was to improve the C:O ratio in biomass by preserving the lignin macrostructure of lignocellulosic feed. The intention of liquid phase pyrolysis is to liquefy biomass and prepare biomass for further upgrading steps like hydrogenation and deoxygenation. Pyrolysis was carried out in a non-aqueous liquid phase heat carrier. The process was carried out in a semi-batch re...
