Here we discuss the implications of phase change equations and what bearing they might have on interstellar space travel. The phase change equations are derived from either thermodynamics or statistical mechanics and have a similarity. Then, the main equation for limit of superh...

For many liquids, the limit of superheat is 0.89 Tc, where Tc = temperature Kelvin at critical point. The rise in the limit of superheat by addition of polymer has a formula, B’, derived by Jennings, and this paper makes use of a pattern to predict the formula for rise in superh...

Classical nucleation theory predicts the limit of superheat of liquids quite well. To come up with an equation for the limit of superheat of polymer solutions, the lattice model for polymer solutions was used to give the surface tension of polymer solutions. A formula for bubble...

Blander and Katz give a formula in classical nucleation theory, J = A exp K, for homogeneous nucleation (liquid-->gas). Jennings proved that dlnA/dK = 1/6K for all pure liquids by combining two theories, taking the limit as polymer concentration-->0. This gives lnA = (1/12)...
