12. With height of cylinder as two times its diameter, the ratio of solidification time for a sphere
to that of cylinder (of the same diameter) will be

(a) 36/25
(b) 25/36
(c) 64/25
(d) 25/64
Solution:

V/A for sphere = 34π(D2 )3 = D
4π(D2 )2 6

V/A for cylinder =2((π4π4DD22))×+(22πDD)2 = D
5

Solidification time for sphere / Solidification time for cylinder = (V/A)2sphere / (V/A)2cylinder

= 25/36 (Ans)

13. The cylindrical mould have diameter-to-height ratio as 1.0. Considering total time of
solidification as 2.0 min and mould constant as 1956000 sec/m2, the dimensions of the
mould will be

(a) D = H = 7.4 cm
(b) D = H = 4.7 cm
(c) D = H = 6.7 cm
(d) D = H = 13.4 cm
Solution:
D/H =1, Time of solidification = Ts =2 min

Cm = 1956000 sec/m2 = (1956000)/ (60 × 1002) =3.26 min/ cm2

V = πD2H /4 = π D3/ 4, though D/H =1

A = (2 ×πD2/4) + (πDH)

Ts = Cm (V/A)2 = 3.26 × (D2/36) = 2

D = 4.7 = H (Ans)

14. The ratio of surface energy term to volume energy term for critical radius during
solidification process is

(a) -3/2
(b) -2/3
(c) -5/6
(d) -7/12
Solution:

Surface energy term = 4 π r2 γ

Volume energy term = (4/3) π r3 Δg

Critical radius = (-2 γ)/Δg = r*

Ratio of surface energy term to volume energy term = [4 π (r*)2 γ] / [(4/3) π (r*)3 Δg]

= -3/2 (Ans)

15. Enthalpy of fusion of ice is 6.02 kJmol-1. The energy of ice water interface is 0.076 Jm-1.
Molar volume of ice can be taken as 19 cm3. The critical radius of nucleation of ice from
water at -40oC will be

(a) 33 nm
(b) 41 nm
(c) 33 Ao
(d) 41 Ao
Solution:

Δ h = (6.02 × 103) / (19 × 10-6) J m-3

γ = 0.076 J m-1

Δ T = -40 °C = -40 K

Tm = 273 K

Critical radius = (-2 γ) / (Δg) where Δg = (Δh × ΔT) / (Tm)

= 33 A0 (Ans)
