One example where modeling the non-classical behavior of water vapor molecules is importan is the ice nucleation
on supercooled water droplets.
Not exact matches
Wergin and Erbe have used their low - temperature scanning electron microscope to infer what happens when falling ice crystals run into fogs of
supercooled water droplets
on their way down, a common occurrence.
On page 1589 of this issue, Kim et al. (2) use an evaporative cooling technique to cool micrometer - sized
water droplets to deeply
supercooled temperatures and provide evidence for the postulated critical point.
Then you will perform some
supercool tests
on this
water!
A team at the University of Nottingham used a simulation that matches experimental and in situ observations to characterize ice
on a spectrum between rime ice that forms from
water vapor and glaze ice that forms from
supercooled water droplets.
Through a simulation performed in «
supercooled»
water, a research team led by chemist Feng «Seymour» Wang, confirmed a «liquid - liquid» phase transition at 207 Kelvins, or 87 degrees below zero
on the Fahrenheit scale.
rime ice A coating of tiny, opaque ice crystals formed when
supercooled water freezes rapidly
on contact with an object.
An international team of researchers, led by Arizona State University chemist C. Austen Angell and University of Amsterdam's Dr. Sander Woutersen, has observed one of the more intriguing properties predicted by
water theoreticians — that,
on sufficient
supercooling and under specific conditions it will suddenly change from one liquid to a different one.
«Researchers studying the physics of
water can now settle
on the model that
water has a critical point in the
supercooled regime.
