Ice growth rate: Temperature dependence and effect of heat dissipation

The Journal of Chemical Physics
P Montero de HijesEduardo Sanz

Abstract

The transformation of liquid water into solid ice is arguably the most important phase transition on Earth. A key aspect of such transformation is the speed with which ice grows once it is nucleated. There are contradictory experimental results as to whether the ice growth rate shows a maximum on cooling. Previous simulation results point to the existence of such a maximum. However, simulations were performed at constant temperature with the aid of a thermostat that dissipates the heat released at the ice-water interface unrealistically fast. Here, we perform simulations of ice growth without any thermostat. Large systems are required to perform these simulations at constant overall thermodynamic conditions (pressure and temperature). We obtain the same growth rate as in previous thermostatted simulations. This implies that the dynamics of ice growth is not affected by heat dissipation. Our results strongly support the experiments predicting the existence of a maximum in the ice growth rate. By using the Wilson-Frenkel kinetic theory, we argue that such maximum is due to a competition between an increasing crystallization thermodynamic driving force and a decreasing molecular mobility on cooling.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
