Directional solidification zone melting is a metallurgical process in which a narrow region of a crystal (usually in the form of bar) is melted. The furnace moves along the rod shape sample, meaning that the molten zone is moved along the crystal and the molten zone is moved from one end of the bar to the other. This mechanism is widely used in alloys, however...

Liquid Phase Reactor: Sucrose Inversion

Both batch and continuous flow reactors are used in catalytic reactions. Packed beds, which use solid catalysts and a continuous flow, are the most common configuration. In the absence of an extensive recycle stream, such packed bed reactors are typically modeled as "plug flow". The other most common continuous reactor is a stirred tank, which is assumed to be...

Nanoscale Characterization of Liquid-Solid Interfaces by Coupling Cryo-Focused Ion Beam Milling with Scanning Electron Microscopy and Spectroscopy

4.0K
Cryogenic Focused Ion Beam (FIB) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) techniques can provide key insights into the chemistry and morphology of intact solid-liquid interfaces. Methods for preparing high quality Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopic maps of such interfaces are detailed, with a focus on energy storage...

Induction of Microstreaming by Nonspherical Bubble Oscillations in an Acoustic Levitation System

2.7K
A fast and reliable technique is proposed to control the shape oscillations of a single, trapped acoustic bubble that is based on coalescence technique between two bubbles. The steady-state, symmetry-controlled bubble shape oscillations allow analysis of the fluid flow generated in the vicinity of the bubble...

Culturing of Human Nasal Epithelial Cells at the Air Liquid Interface

38.1K
Nasal epithelial cells, obtained through superficial scrape biopsy of human volunteers, are expanded and transferred onto tissue culture inserts. Upon reaching confluency, cells are grown at air liquid interface, yielding cultures of ciliated and non-ciliated cells. Differentiated nasal epithelial cell cultures provide viable experimental models for studying the respiratory...

Synthesis of Phase-shift Nanoemulsions with Narrow Size Distributions for Acoustic Droplet Vaporization and Bubble-enhanced Ultrasound-mediated Ablation

11.6K
Phase-shift nanoemulsions (PSNE) can be vaporized using high intensity focused ultrasound to enhance localized heating and improve thermal ablation in tumors. In this report, the preparation of stable PSNE with a narrow size distribution is described. Furthermore, the impact of vaporized PSNE on ultrasound-mediated ablation is demonstrated in tissue-mimicking...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Vapor bubble formation on nanoscale surfaces depends on curvature. Larger radii promote nucleation, while smaller radii suppress it due to solid-vapor interface energy costs.

Area of Science:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Understanding phase transitions at the nanoscale is crucial for various applications.
  • Bubble nucleation at liquid-solid interfaces is a fundamental phenomenon with limited theoretical exploration for curved surfaces.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate vapor bubble formation near nanoscale-curved convex liquid-solid interfaces.
  • To determine the key factors influencing nucleation under these conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Employed an equilibrium Gibbs model for homogeneous nucleation.
  • Utilized a nonequilibrium dynamic van der Waals-diffuse-interface model for phase change.
  • Accounted for solid-fluid interactions and interfacial energies.

Main Results:

  • Vapor bubble formation occurs for larger radii of curvature and is suppressed for smaller radii.
  • Solid-fluid interactions significantly influence bubble formation.
  • The energetic cost of creating the solid-vapor interface is the dominant factor, not liquid-vapor interfacial energy or Laplace pressure.

Conclusions:

  • Nanoscale curvature dictates vapor bubble nucleation.
  • Solid-vapor interfacial energy, rather than liquid-vapor interfacial energy, is the primary driver for nucleation.
  • The findings provide insights into phase transitions at curved nanoscale interfaces.
