Various mathematical approaches undertaken to model all stages of droplet freezing are
reviewed. The literature is rife with theoretical, experimental, and numerical treatments of the …

Cold thermal energy storage (CTES) is a process that supplies cold thermal energy to a
medium for storage and extracts it whenever is needed. The storage medium is phase …

Water droplet freezing on an ice surface is a common phenomenon and poses hazards to a
lot of applications, including wind turbines, aircraft, and power transmission lines. Since the …

In this paper we formulate a Stefan problem appropriate when the thermophysical properties
are distinct in each phase and the phase-change temperature is size or velocity dependent …

The residual diameter of a droplet at a temperature of 25 C impacting a cold surface was
investigated using high-speed photography. The temperature of the impacted surface was …

The freezing phenomena in supercooled liquid droplets are important for many engineering
applications. For instance, a theoretical model of this phenomenon can offer insights for …

Freezing of droplets on cold surfaces can cause damage to equipment. To prevent the
increase of ice, it is necessary to understand the freezing process of water droplets on the …

Cryopreservation can keep the bioactivity of biological specimens in long-term storage, but it
is hard to retain the structural integrity due to serious thermomechanical stress during …

Treatment and disposal are two main approaches for water cycle management in the oil and
gas industry. Freeze concentration has been identified as one of the methods to separate …

Water diffusion and swelling of polymer films can be modeled by nonlinear diffusion
equations with fixed or moving boundaries, investigating the Fick and the Stefan problems …
