Analysis of Crystallization of a Supercooled Melt by the Integral‐Balance Method

Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

Using the integral‐balance method, the Stefan problem is solved for simply shaped crystals (a prism, a cylinder, and a sphere) grown in a supercooled melt. It is shown that the rate of crystal growth increases with the surface‐to‐volume ratio (in passage from a prism to a cylinder and a sphere). For all the three shapes of crystals studied the dependence of the speed of motion of the crystallization front on the supercooling is nonlinear and is characterized by a progressive increase.
