watertorice
Watertorice is a term used in science communication and engineering to describe the transformation of liquid water into solid ice. It may refer to either natural freezing in the environment or engineered processes designed to produce ice from water. The word is a compound of 'water' and 'ice' and appears in educational contexts to illustrate phase transitions and heat transfer.
Physical basis: Freezing occurs when water is cooled to its freezing point, typically 0°C at standard atmospheric
Methods and applications: In industry, watertorice is achieved via refrigeration cycles, plate or block ice machines,
Variations and related concepts: Dense or plaque ice production, ice nucleation, supercooling, and phase-change materials are
