自身凝固两相态组成的影响
In the traditional inward solidification model of a sphere, the interface temperature of liquid–solid is considered
as a constant freezing point, but majority of materials have a freezing temperature range and the
freezing temperature descends with the change of liquid–solid two phase composition. By taking binary
alloy for instance, a new liquid–solid interface model is proposed based on the solid fraction, because the
solid fraction plays the bridge between the freezing temperature and the binary phase composition. The
new model determines a corresponding relationship between the position of liquid–solid moving interface
and the freezing temperature, and it is applied in the solidification analysis of a single encapsulated
phase change material (PCM) particle. For different type of PCMs, two rules have been built. A linear rule
is designed for the material with the narrow freezing temperature range; to materials with the wide
freezing temperature range like Copper (Cu–Al), the solid fraction presents a complicated function relationship
with the freezing temperature, so in the numerical calculation, the local linear rule is employed
based on the transient interpolation of the solid fraction in the discrete points which represent the freezing
temperature against solid fraction in DSC measurements or equilibrium phase diagrams.
