High vapor
levels around droplets and lower concentrations over ice will tend to
homogenize by random molecular motionsÉDIFFUSION. |
|
Thus water vapor
molecules over liquid will move towards ice crystals. |
|
Vapor pressure
over ice becomes larger than SVP over ice, smaller than SVP over liquid
droplet. |
|
Droplets will
shrink as liquid evaporates to replace evacuated vapor molecules. |
|
Supercooled
water droplets will be attracted to ice crystal, where they freeze/adhere on
contact. |
