Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

A theoretical model characterizing the explosive crystallization from a supercooled melt has been proposed and analyzed. Taking account of the specific features of the cluster-coagulation model of crystallization and the specific features of the experiment has made it possible to construct cooling curves adequate to the experimental ones.
