Hi guys
The Scheil equation for the segregation of impurities from a liquid to the solid during solidification is
Cs = C0Keff(1 - fs)^(Keff - 1)
Cs is the concentration of impurities in the solid
C0 is the initial impurity concentration in the liquid
Keff is the effective segregation coefficient (< or = 1)
fs is the mass fraction of the melt that is solidified.
I have trouble understanding what is going to happen as the solid fraction goes to 1. If anyone knows what's going on in this equation please help me out - I hate not understanding this!
Any further detail needed please let me know.
