Melting ice cubes illustrate the process of fusion. Melting, or fusion, is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid. This occurs when the internal energy of the solid increases, typically by the application of heat or pressure, which increases the substance's temperature to the melting point. At the melting point, the ordering of ions or molecules in the solid breaks down to a less ordered state, and the solid melts to become a liquid. Substances in the molten state generally have reduced vis
Dry ice is also formed into nuggets, by forcing the snow through stainless steel dies with round holes that are one-eighth to three-quarters of an inch in diameter. The nuggets break off in random lengths of 1 to 2 inches. Dry ice does not melt, but vaporizes, passing from a solid state to a vapor without going through a liquid state. This is called sublimation. The time this takes depends on temperature, air movement and whether the dry ice is in an enclosed area. Dry ice is what is called an expendable refrigerant, which leaves nothing behind when it evaporates, so it is desirable for shipping and storing a variety of foods.
