Nukleasjonskilder
Nukleasjonskilder, or nucleation sources, refer to specific points, substances, or conditions that promote the initiation of a phase change, typically from a liquid to a vapor or from a supercooled liquid to a solid. These sources are critical in processes such as boiling, condensation, frost formation, and crystallization, where the formation of new phases begins at localized sites.
In nature and engineering, nucleation can occur spontaneously (homogeneous nucleation) or be facilitated by external factors
Materials acting as nucleation sources often have specific characteristics, such as surface roughness, chemical composition, or
In industrial applications, controlling nucleation sources is essential to optimize processes like crystallization in pharmaceuticals, metal
Understanding the role and control of nucleation sources is fundamental in fields ranging from climate science
