The two stages involved in the formation of particles of a new phase.

Answer to Problem 1QAP
The brief description of two stages involved in the formation of particles of a new phase is explained below.
Explanation of Solution
The two stages involved in the formation of particles of a new phase are:
- Nucleation
- Growth
Nucleation:
The development of very miniature nuclei of a new phase from the parent phase, similar to embryo is known as nucleation. There are two types of nucleation, heterogeneous and homogeneous nucleation.
In heterogeneous nucleation, nuclei produce at non-homogeneous structures, like surface of container, boundaries of grain and so on.
In homogeneous nucleation, nuclei or particles produce within parent phase.
Growth:
The growing phase of the particle is called as growth. In this phase, the particles transform into a stable nucleus and the size of embryo got bigger than the decisive shape. The process of growth forms a new phase nuclei within the parent phase. The process of growing continues till the new formed nuclei got stable and replace the parent nuclei.

- help on this question about three-phase half-wave rectifier? Also it envolves a little bit of signals and systems.arrow_forwardA power plant needs to evaporate 1500.0 lbm/h of water at 40.0 °F at 1 atm. Utility superheated steam at 1200 °F and 40 bar is available, but the steam cannot drop below 20 bar and 700 °F. Use the steam tables to determine the specific enthalpies of the four streams. The reference for the enthalpies should be water at the triple point. You may interpolate in Tables B6. and B7, and can also use external, automated sources. Determine the amount of superheated steam required to accomplish the evaporation for a superheated steam outlet of 700 °F and 20 bar. Assume no heat losses and use the steam tables to determine enthalpies.arrow_forwardRecitation 11 Problem 1 400 kg/min of steam enters a steam turbine at 300 °C and 80 bar through a 8.5-cm diameter line and exits at 100 °C and 10.0 bar through a 5.5-cm line. The exiting stream may be vapor, liquid, or "wet steam", a mist composed of saturated water vapor and entrained liquid droplets. Find how much power W (kW) is transferred from the turbine to the steam? The answer can be positive or negative. Neglect AE, but not AEK. What percentage (%) of the total power is due to kinetic energy changes?arrow_forward
- A 30.0-g block of iron at 200.0°C is dropped into a liter of water in an insulated flask at 25.0°C and 1 atm. The specific enthalpy of iron is given by the expression Ĥ(J/g) = 17.3 T(°C).arrow_forwardDon't use ai to answer I will report you answerarrow_forwardDuring a plant visit, it was noticed that a 12-m-long section of a 10-cm-diameter steam pipe is completely exposed to the ambient air. The temperature measurements indicate that the average temperature of the outer surface of the steam pipe is 75°C when the ambient temperature is 5°C. There are also light winds in the area at 10 km/h. The emissivity of the outer surface of the pipe is 0.8, and the average temperature of the surfaces surrounding the pipe, including the sky, is estimated to be 0°C. Determine the amount of heat lost from the steam during a 10-h-long work day. Steam is supplied by a gas-fired steam generator that has an efficiency of 80 percent, and the plant pays $1.05/therm of natural gas. If the pipe is insulated and 90 percent of the heat loss is saved, determine the amount of money this facility will save a year as a result of insulating the steam pipes. Assume the plant operates every day of the year for 10 h. State your assumptions.arrow_forward
