Presidential Young Investigator Award: Double-Diffusive andBuoyancy/Surface Tension Natural Convection

这是一个项目，其中实验研究将进行 层状盐体系中的双扩散自然对流 在一个外壳中。 盐的传递和热量的传递 将确定分离各层的界面。 的 温度将通过封装的液晶来测量。 可能 应用于二元晶体生长，例如砷化镓， 用于聚酯制造的冷冻结晶。

This is a project in which experimental studies will be performed of double diffusive natural convection in layered salt systems contained in an enclosure. Both the salt transfer and the heat transfer through the interface which separates the layers will be determined. The temperature will be measured by encapsulated liquid crystals. Possible applications are to binary crystal growth such as gallium arsenide and to freeze crystallization used in the making of polyesters.
