Frost-free Freeze Physics 昇華是指一种物质从固态不经过液态直接转化为气态的过程，是物质在温度和气压低于三相点的时候发生的一种物态变化。与昇華相反的过程称做凝華，指物质从气态直接变成固态。這樣的例子有結霜。昇華是吸熱的反應，所需的熵是汽化熱和熔化热之和。 Frost-free freeze physics--its more than a?tongue-twister(绕口令). “Sublimation” is when ice turns into a gas without passing through the usual intermediary liquid state. If you leave your ice cubes in back of the freezer for a month or so, you might notice they start to shrink. That’s because they are sublimating: the ice is turning to water vapor even though it never melted. But I tried this experiment myself and my ice cubes never shrunk! All I got was a cold head! Then, physicist John Carini explained to me that it only works if you have a frost-free freezer. ? ? Why is that?It’s in the nature of?sublimation. When we say that ice can turn into water vapor, what we mean is that (1)fast-moving?water molecules can actually (2)fling?themselves?off?the surface of the ice cube and into the surrounding air. That’s what?evaporation?means. The more molecules that can free themselves of the ice this way, the more the ice has turned into vapor. But wait!In order to do that, the air around the ice cube can’t (3)be?saturatedwith?water already. If it is, there’s no room for more molecules and?evaporationcan’t take place. Frost-free freezers keep the air from becoming?saturated?so that it won’t freeze on the walls. But that also means ice-cubes can sublimate nonstop!
