    Soft Matter View Article Online PAPER View Journal | View Issue Impurity effects in thermal regelation a ab Cite this: Soft Matter, 2020, Navaneeth K. Marath and J. S. Wettlaufer * 16, 5886 When a particle is placed in a material with a lower bulk melting temperature, intermolecular forces can lead to the existence of a ‘‘premelted’’ liquid film of the lower melting temperature material. Despite the system being below the melting temperatures of both solids, the liquid film is a consequence of thermodynamic equilibrium, controlled by intermolecular, ionic and other interactions. An imposed Received 30th March 2020, temperature gradient drives the translation of the particle by a process of melting and refreezing known as Accepted 17th May 2020 ‘‘thermal regelation’’. We calculate the rate of regelation of spherical particles surrounded by premelted DOI: 10.1039/d0sm00558d films that contain ionic impurities. The impurities enhance the rate of motion thereby influencing the dynamics of single particles and distributions of particles, which we describe in addition to the rsc.li/soft-matter-journal consequences in natural and technological settings.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Robert Katz Publications by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. 17 The Phases of Matter 17-1 Phases of a Substance A substance which has a definite chemical composition can exist in one or more phases, such as the vapor phase, the liquid phase, or the solid phase. When two or more such phases are in equilibrium at any given temperature and pressure, there are always surfaces of separation between the two phases. In the solid phase a pure substance generally exhibits a well-defined crystal structure in which the atoms or molecules of the substance are arranged in a repetitive lattice. Many substances are known to exist in several different solid phases at different conditions of temperature and pressure. These solid phases differ in their crystal structure. Thus ice is known to have six different solid phases, while sulphur has four different solid phases.

  • The Ideal Gas
    LectureLecture 2222 Equations of state. The ideal gas. Kinetic model of a gas. Phase Diagram State variables State variables for a system: they characterize the system macroscopically at a given time. • Pressure • Temperature • Volume • Mass or moles Important: a system is in a thermal state that can be described by these variables when ALL the system has uniform pressure, temperature, etc. Example: Gas in a tube whose ends are kept at different temperature is NOT in a thermal state. Equation of state The equation of state relates the state variables. Can be obtained: • Empirically • From statistical mechanics The ideal gas An ideal gas is one whose molecules • are very small (point-like) • do not interact with one another This is very true for any gas that is not in an “extreme” situation. The gas is NOT ideal if we have: • high density • high pressure • near transition to liquid (or solid) • molecules are very large Mole of a gass A mole (mol) is defined as the number of grams of a substance that is numerically equal to the molecular mass of the substance: 1 mol of H2 has a mass of 2 g (2*1 protons + 2*0 neutrons per moleule) 1 mol of Ne has a mass of 20 g (1*10 protons + 1*10 neutrons per atom) 1 mol of O2 has a mass of 32 g (2*8 protons + 2*8 neutrons per molecule) 1 mol of C has a mass of 12 g (1*6 proton + 1*6 neutrons per atom) 1 mol of CO2 has a mass of 44 (1*6+2*8) protons + (1*6+2*8) neutrons per molecule mass Number of moles: n = molecular mass Q: How do I know the molecular mass?

  • Investigating How the Role of Pressure Is Misunderstood in the Process of Regelation of Water*
    POCZYTAJMY PO ANGIELSKU Investigating how the role of pressure is misunderstood in the process of regelation of water*. Karim Daw Egypt Student of Vienna International School Vienna Nov. 2008* Introduction: The process of melting due to pressure and then re-freezing when pressure is reduced is commonly called regelation. There is a substantial amount of physics that is not clearly explained. The word "regelation" means re - freezing and does not imply that pressure plays any role in it. Congelare means “to freeze” in Italian. This essay reports on investigation to what extent pressure is responsible for regelation of water**. Aspects of thermal physics will come into play in this investigation, mainly, the effects of pressure on melting point. This is because observing the effects of pressure on a body involves understanding the transport of energy and where and how it is being transferred in the form of heat. The guiding research question is: To what extent does pressure play a role in the regelation of water. The process of regelation: When a substance turns from a solid to a liquid, it usually undergoes a change in volume as well. Most substances expand when this phase change takes place and some contract. In the case of water, it contracts when changing from solid to liquid. This is well expressed by Le Chatelier's** principles: "If a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change." When there is an application of pressure on ice, the system counteracts by lowering the pressure on it in some way.

  • Grain Boundary Phase Transitions and Their Influence on Properties of Polycrystals 37
    Mater.Phys.Mech.2 (2000) 37-41 Grain Boundary Phase Transitions and Their Influence on Properties of Polycrystals 37 GRAIN BOUNDARY PHASE TRANSITIONS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON PROPERTIES OF POLYCRYSTALS B. B. Straumal1 and M. Friesel2 1 Institute of Solid State Physics, Chernogolovka, Moscow District, RU-142432, Russia 2 SIMS Laboratory, Chalmers University of Technology, S-41296 Gothenburg, Sweden Received: June 25, 2000 Abstract. Grain boundary (GB) phase transitions can change drastically the properties of polycrystals. The GB wetting phase transition can occur in the two-phase area of the bulk phase diagram where the liquid (L) and solid (S) phases are in equlibrium. The GB wetting tie line appears in the L+S area. Above the temperature of the GB wetting phase transition a GB can not exist in equlibrium with the liquid bulk phase. The liquid phase has to substitute the GB and to separate both grains. The experimental data on GB wetting phase transitions in the systems Al– Sn, Al–Ga, Al–Sn–Ga, Cu–In, Cu–Bi, Fe–Si–Zn, Mo–Ni, W–Ni, Zn–Sn and Zn–In are analysed. The GB wetting tie line can continue in the one-phase area of the bulk phase diagram as a GB solidus line. This line represents the GB premelting or prewetting phase transitions. The GB properties change drastically when the GB solidus line is crossed by a change in the temperature or concentration. The experimental data on GB segregation, energy, mobility and diffusivity in the systems Cu–Bi, Al–Ga, Al–Pb and Fe–Si–Zn obtained both in polycrystals and bicrystals are analysed.

  • PHYS 1400 Sample Exam Questions: Phase Change 1. Evaporation Is
    PHYS 1400 Sample Exam Questions: Phase Change 1. Evaporation is the change of A) a solid into the liquid phase. B) a gas into the solid phase. C) a liquid into the gas phase. D) a gas into the liquid phase. 2. Evaporation of a liquid is a cooling process: A) the lower energy liquid molecules collide with and stick to a cooler surface, and cool that surface. B) the lower energy molecules sink, and the higher energy molecules spread out and cool down. C) the higher energy liquid molecules escape, leaving the lower energy molecules behind. D) the higher energy molecules give their energy to the lower energy molecules, lowering the average energy and thus the temperature of the liquid. 3. Wetting the cloth cover of your canteen on a hot day is A) a bad idea; it will cause the water inside to get hotter as the wet cover absorbs more heat. B) a good idea; the evaporating water cools the cloth, the canteen, and the water inside it. C) useless. This has no efect on the temperature of the water inside. D) just plain weird. Who thinks up this stuf anyway? 4. It is not possible for a solid substance to change directly to the gas phase. A) True; it must go through a liquid phase first. B) False; the process is called sublimation, and can be seen when dry ice “smokes” as it evaporates. C) False; the process is possible, but only for water and only under extreme circumstances. D) Mostly true. Only one known substance can do it: dumbledorium.
