RAMP RATE OF

When the ramp rate is increased, the amount of salt that is held in the supersaturated solution increases. The consequence is a greater driving potential for buoyant convection. There is an outer limit to the degree of super-saturation of the solution, though it was not reached in the present study. The growth process of a crystal when the solution is cooled at a higher ramp rate of is discussed in this section.
