Contact angle for theoretical parameterization of immersion freezing rate inferred from the freezing temperature by Jun-Jie Chang, Jen-Ping Chen, Pei-Hsin Liu

“…The derived contact angles compared well with values independently obtained in earlier studies based on a pure-CNT approach using laboratory nucleation rate data. The uncertainties in contact angle calculation associated with the definition of onset nucleation rate, the activation energy, and the ice-nuclei size are estimated to be about ± 1–2°, ± 1–5°, and ± 1–2°, respectively, among different ice-nucleating particles.…”
