Question

8. For the solidification of iron, calculate the critical radius r* and the activation free energy AG* if nucleation is homogeneous. Values for the latent heat of fusion and surface

free energy are -1.85 × 10ºJ/m³ and 0.204 J/m², respectively. Use the supercooling value found in Table 10.1. (4pt)
