Heat transfer during the spontaneous or induced crystallizations of dispersed undercooled small droplets of water.

Summary

In the paper, the authors present a study concerning the heat transfers during the crystallizations of the undercooled droplets of an emulsion. In the general case where the crystallizations are independent, they observe a self regulation of the temperature: when droplets crystallize the induced heating decreases the probability of crystallizations of the surrounding droplets delaying their transformations. But, in the particular case of certain concentrated water emulsions, they observe a propagation of the crystallization modifying completely the kinetics of the transformations and changing the evolution of the temperature. Models to describe the two cases are presented.
