Please explain fs and fl
[edit]I am trying to read into this subject, but don't understand the figure and especially the statement fs + fl = 1. This is probably due to me missunderstanding f.
(Unfortunately non of the books available to me, describe Scheil's equation and the paper, in which I found it, does not go into detail.)
Can somebody please define it, and better yet, explain a little bit to it. (Or point to another resource)
Thank you very much, an active Wiki user, Superbirk (talk) 10:41, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
It appears that fs and fl are the fraction that are solid and liquid, respectively. This should be added to the page.
Problem with lack of links to the references
[edit]I just corrected math equations in the section "Application to solidification cracking" because the exponent (1/2) had problems. But it would be great if this calculation was linked to an article among the references, since there are three references with S. Kou as an author. 153.240.139.134 (talk) 15:20, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- By the way, looking at the equations now that the exponent is at the good place, it seems that they are false.
- dT/d(sqrt(f)) = dT/df * ( d(sqrt(f))/df )^(-1) = 2 sqrt(f) dT/df
- So it must be 2 and not 1/2
- What do you think ? 153.240.139.134 (talk) 15:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
