Modelling and simulation of brinicle formation
Below the Arctic sea ice, under the right conditions, a flux of icy brine flows down into the sea. The icy brine has a much lower fusion point and is denser than normal seawater.

Convection of snow: when and why does it happen?
Convection of water vapor in snowpacks is supposed to have a major impact on snow density and microstructure profiles with strong implications for the thermal regime and snow stability.

Quasicrystalline phase-change memory [PDF]
AbstractPhase-change memory utilizing amorphous-to-crystalline phase-change processes for reset-to-set operation as a nonvolatile memory has been recently commercialized as a storage class memory. Unfortunately, designing new phase-change materials (PCMs) with low phase-change energy and sufficient thermal stability is difficult because phase-change ...

Phase-change chalcogenide glass metamaterial [PDF]
Combining metamaterials with functional media brings a new dimension to their performance. Here we demonstrate substantial resonance frequency tuning in a photonic metamaterial hybridized with an electrically/optically switchable chalcogenide glass.

Theoretical Study on the Ice Melting with Transient Double Effects of Temperature and Concentration
The melting of the ice plate with the transient double effects of the temperature and concentration was studied theoretically. In the present study, our main attention was paid to the early stage of melting, when the abrupt changes of the temperature and

Elevated LNG Vapour Dispersion—Effects of Topography, Obstruction and Phase Change
The dispersion of vapour of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is generally assumed to be from a liquid spill on the ground in hazard and risk analysis. However, this cold vapour could be discharged at height through cold venting.

Active thermal mass enhancement using phase change materials [PDF]
Buildings account for around 40% of energy consumption in the UK. For over twenty years active thermal mass systems have been a feature in low-energy buildings in northern Europe.

Effect of Gas Channel on Water Formation in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell
Water management is important for the development of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) having high performance and reliability. Experimental and numerical studies were carried out on PEFCs with serpentine channels. Two channel widths, 2 mm and 8 mm,

Despite numerous studies on the wettability behavior of ductile iron after ultrafast laser structuring, the correlation between the phase change due to the interaction with an intense pulse and wettability is not yet well understood. In the present work,

Strangeness at the threshold of phase change [PDF]
We explore entropy and strangeness as signature of QGP for top AGS energy and the energy scan at SPS. We find that the hadronization dynamics changes between 20 and 30 $A$ GeV projectile energy. The high energy results are consistent with QGP.
