  2. Ostwald ripening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostwald_ripening

    Ostwald ripening is a phenomenon observed in solid solutions and liquid sols that involves the change of an inhomogeneous structure over time, in that small crystals or sol particles first dissolve and then redeposit onto larger crystals or sol particles.

  3. Cahn–Hilliard equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahn–Hilliard_equation

    Evolution of random initial data with = and = (60/40 mix of the blue and red phases, respectively), demonstrating Ostwald ripening When one phase is significantly more abundant, the Cahn–Hilliard equation can show the phenomenon known as Ostwald ripening, where the minority phase forms spherical droplets, and the smaller droplets are absorbed ...

  4. Ostwald–Freundlich equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostwald–Freundlich_equation

    The Ostwald–Freundlich equation governs boundaries between two phases; specifically, it relates the surface tension of the boundary to its curvature, the ambient temperature, and the vapor pressure or chemical potential in the two phases. The Ostwald–Freundlich equation for a droplet or particle with radius is:

  5. Power-law fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-law_fluid

    A Newtonian fluid is a power-law fluid with a behaviour index of 1, where the shear stress is directly proportional to the shear rate: = These fluids have a constant viscosity, μ, across all shear rates and include many of the most common fluids, such as water, most aqueous solutions, oils, corn syrup, glycerine, air and other gases.

  6. Precipitation (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    The ionic equation allows to write this reaction by detailing the dissociated ions ... The physico-chemical process underlying digestion is called Ostwald ripening ...

  7. Sintering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sintering

    Convex surfaces have a higher chemical potential than concave surfaces, therefore grain boundaries will move toward their center of curvature. As smaller particles tend to have a higher radius of curvature and this results in smaller grains losing atoms to larger grains and shrinking. This is a process called Ostwald ripening.

  8. Beer chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_chemistry

    When beer is poured, carbon dioxide dissolved in the beer escapes and forms tiny bubbles. These bubbles grow and accelerate as they rise by feeding off of nearby smaller bubbles, a phenomenon known as Ostwald ripening. These larger bubbles lead to “coarser” foam on top of poured beer.
