Comparison of sodium chloride hopper cubes grown under microgravity and terrestrial conditions

Comparison of sodium chloride hopper cubes grown under microgravity and terrestrial conditions

Sodium chloride (NaCl) grown in terrestrial conditions form hopper cubes under diffusion controlled mass transport (Péclet number: ≪ 1), high supersaturations ( S  > 1.45), and fast growth rates (10–110 µm/s) over periods only maintainable for seconds to minutes yielding hopper cubes typically...
