Abstract
The ternary solidification problem has been shown to reveal interesting fluid dynamical possibilities owing to fluid-density reversals that can appear during the solidification process. Proportions for the different solidified products are presented. Experimental results are obtained for the H2O—KNO3—NaNO3 system when there is no fluid motion due to absence of both thermal and compositional convection. The growth rates for both one-component and two-component mushes as well as for the ternary solid are diffusion-limited. However, a substantial undercooling and a linear initial growth in time was measured for the ternary solid.
