Interpretation:
The critical nucleus size
Concept introduction:
Before the formation of the new phase, the clustering of atoms or molecules is done together which results into critical radius. This is of the minimum size. It is stable and growing in nature.
Nucleation is the process of stable nuclei formation.
By nucleation process, sometimes this precipitation rate is limited. Formation of dendrite occurs when the change of phase forms the crystallization structure of solid into a matrix of liquid.
The growth of crystal is in the form of three-dimensional form and the atoms are attached through the preferred directions. Usually, dendrite is formed along the crystal axis. Dendrites are tree-like structures.
The temperature of the new phase is less than the temperature of transformation. Due to this, the nucleus volume energy is lower than the initial phase volume.

Answer to Problem 12.1P
The critical radius for homogeneous nucleation of
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Slope is zero when the total free energy change is the maximum
Calculation:
The total energy for the nucleation process −
Where,
Radius of spherical solid surface −
Surface energy −
Interface −
Strain energy −
Change in energy -
By rearranging the above equation,
Consider,
Critical radius for homogeneous nucleation −
Slope is zero when the total free energy change is at the maximum.
So, the above equation gets partially differentiated with respect to radius
But,
Put
Hence equation becomes -
Hence, by using free energy change expression, we get the critical radius for the nucleation of homogeneous mixture as −

Assume the arrival and service processes are stochastic. Using any software (Excel, Matlab, or the one you prefer), plot average delay time (including service time) and average queue size (including the vehicle currently being served) for all combinations of λ = {1,2,3,..,10} and p = {0.1,0.3,0.5,0.7,0.9}. Specifically, we ask you to make 2 graphs (one for average delay and the other for average queue size), where the x-axes contains the different values for 1, and where you make one curve for each p. b.

If a person departs at time t, assume the time needed to go from O to D is given by c(t)=A+Bx(t), where x(t) is the flow of people departing at time t [car/unit of time]. In addition, a is the penalty for being early at work (E(t) is how early the person arrived when departing at time t), and ẞ is the penalty for being late at work (L(t) is how late the person arrived when departing at time t). Assume 0 < a < 1 < ß. Further assume the departure time choice problem under the equilibrium conditions. Prove that the arrival time of people who depart when most of the M people start their trips is equal to Q.arrow_forward
