Summary

According to some experimental observations, water droplet with high initial temperature freezes faster than a cold one. There are some explanations to this problem such as sub-cooling, evaporation and radiation. In this work, solidification process of single droplets with and without the effect of evaporation is numerically investigated for three different drop diameters and initial temperatures. It seems that evaporation itself is able to explain why hot water freezes faster than cold water.
