Previously unknown phenomena, scale, and kinetic effects are revealed by introducing the finite width Δξ of the particle-exterior interface as the additional scale parameter and thermally activated melting in the phase field approach. In addition to traditional continuous barrierless premelting and melting for Δξ= 0, barrierless hysteretic jumplike premelting (melting) and thermally activated premelting (melting) via critical nucleus are revealed. A very rich temperature θ−Δξ transformation diagram is found, which includes various barrierless and thermally activated transformations between solid, melt, and surface melt, and complex hysteretic behavior under various temperature and Δξ trajectories. Bistable states (i.e., spontaneous thermally activated switching between two states) between solid and melt or surface melt are found for Al particles. Strong dependence of the melting temperature (which, in contrast to previous approaches, is defined for thermally activated premelting and melting) for nanoparticles of various radii on Δξ is found. Results are in good agreement with experiments for Al for Δξ=0.8–1.2nm. They open an unexplored direction of controlling surface melting and melting or solidification by controlling the width of the external surface and utilizing predicted phenomena. They also can be expanded for other phase transformations (e.g., amorphization, solid-solid diffusionless, diffusive, and electromagnetic transformations) and phenomena, imbedded particles, and mechanical effects.

The performance of the Direct Contact Membrane is assessed via the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. The developed conjugated heat numerical model from the authors' previous work is used t investigate the role of spacer on the flow and DCMD metrics. The feed (hot stream) and permeate (cold stream) channels are subjected to uniform Navier-Stokes flow and are thermally coupled with a hydrophobic membrane polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) in conjugate heat transfer formulation. Depending on the membrane properties (permeability, thickness, pour size, conductivity, etc.) a temperature, and therefore, a pressure gradient across the membrane is created leading to vaporizing, transporting, and condensing the feed at the permeate side. This work investigates the influence of the spacers in modifying the thermal and kinetic boundary layers, i.e. adjustment of surface temperature, heat flux, and shear stress. The DCMD membrane mass transfer coefficient is evaluated additional to the temperature polarization factor (TPF) and thermal efficiency. Results showed a significant change in Temperature, Nusselts number, and surface shear stresses when spacers are introduced as the boundary layer became fully turbulent which enhanced the mass and heat flux but to a smaller extent.
