Measurement of thermal expansion in liquid succinonitrile and pivalic acid

Quantitative determination of the solidus line in the dilute limit of succinonitrile–camphor alloys

“…2) of the Grashof-Schmidt number, GrSc ¼β T gGR 4 /νD L , characteristic of convection, versus the Peclet number, Pe¼VR/D L , characteristic of solidification. V is the pulling velocity, D L the diffusion coefficient in the liquid (270 mm 2 /s [11]), R the characteristic length scale equal to the smallest sample dimension [18], β T the thermal expansion coefficient (7.85 Â 10 À 4°C À 1 [19]), g the magnitude of gravity vector, G the thermal gradient, and ν the kinematic viscosity (2.6 mm 2 /s [20]). When the experimental conditions used by TL [11] for R¼200 mm are plotted in Fig.…”
