Critical radius of nucleus Calculator

Calculate Critical Radius









Formula

The formula to calculate the Critical Radius of a Nucleus is:

\[ \text{Critical Radius} = \frac{2 \cdot \text{Surface Free Energy} \cdot \text{Melting Temperature}}{\text{Latent Heat of Fusion} \cdot \text{Undercooling Value}} \]

Definition

The Critical Radius of a Nucleus is the minimum size of a stable nucleus formed during solidification. Surface Free Energy is the energy to create a solid–liquid phase boundary during solidification. The Melting Temperature is the temperature at which the metal or alloy melts. Latent Heat of Fusion is the heat liberated during solidification. The Undercooling Value is the difference between the melting temperature and the temperature under consideration (below melting temperature), also known as supercooling.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Critical Radius} = \frac{2 \cdot 0.2 \cdot 1000}{1200000000 \cdot 100} \approx 3.3333E-09 \, \text{meters} \]

The Critical Radius is approximately 3.3333E-09 meters.
