“…Furthermore, NH 4 Cl provides precise benchmarks for validating theoretical predictions and computational simulations of solidification kinetics and microstructural evolutions [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. Numerical simulations, based on principles of the heat transfer, mass transport, and phase equilibria, are commonly used to model solidification processes in NH 4 Cl and other materials.…”
