Interpretation:
The need of undercooling for solidification process needs to be explained. An equation that shows the relation between the free energy change and undercooling when the nucleating solid have a critical nucleus radius r* needs to be derived.
Concept introduction:
Solidification is the process in which metal in the form of liquid starts to form crystal structure which is the solid phase.
Undercooling is necessary forsolidification.

Answer to Problem 9.16P
Undercooling for solidification is necessary because it is nothing but the difference in temperature which creates a force that helps in overcoming the obstacle in the formation of a solid. The expression for total free energy change is as follows:
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The equation relating the total energy and surface free energy is given as follows:
Calculation:
The point at which the liquid phase starts to convert into a solid phase is called a freezing point. But the embryo must have a higherradius than a critical radius to start the stable formation of the nucleus. At freezing point embryos start to decrease the total available energy so the temperature should be decreased for the growth and stability of embryo.
Conversion of liquid to solid should be below freezing temperature. The temperature difference is known as undercooling.
For solidification, undercooling is required because undercooling is the difference in temperature that creates a driving force which helps in overcoming the resistance in solid formation. Two phenomena also hold true in liquid phase conversion to the gaseous phase.
From the given equation (1),
Here,
Substitute the value of r in equation (1) as follows:
(Since r = critical energy)
In equation (1),
Here,
Here,
Terms like
Then the equation becomes.
Where,
Undercooling is required for solidification also with the help of free surface energy, free energy available per unit volume of the sphere can be written as the function of undercooling temperature.

- Q2: (33 Marks) Design FBD for manufacturing system where a conveyor belt is used to move a cart through a tunnel for processing. The process begins when a worker presses a start push button located at the start of the conveyor. Once the start push button is pressed, the cart moves forward along the conveyor belt and enters the tunnel. When the cart reaches the end of the tunnel, it stops automatically and remains in place for 10-minutes to complete a required operation, such as cooling or drying. After the 10-minute delay, the cart automatically returns to the starting point where the worker is stationed. The system then waits for the worker to press the start push button again, at which point the process is repeated. Start PBO Stop PBO LSI 0 LS 2 Motorarrow_forward1.
