Thermodynamic and kinetic approaches for sublimation inside elastoplastic material under tensile stress are developed for large strains. Various conceptual problems related to irreversible plastic deformation are addressed for a spherical bubble. They include definitions of the thermodynamic driving forces and activation energies, nontraditional concepts of a critical nucleus, path dependence of its appearance, modes of its growth (sublimation or expansion due to loss of mechanical stability), and the possibility of reverse transformation. The kinetic relationships between sublimation pressure and temperature are obtained.

Phase transition usually consumes or releases energy to produce cooling or heating within different materials, providing a generalized framework for temperature regulation in practical applications. Because of the strong coupling between the enthalpy change in thermodynamics and heat-mass transfer kinetics, unveiling the mechanism of temperature regulation via the phase transition remains a great challenge. Here, we develop a new theoretical method by establishing a connection of enthalpy change from thermodynamics to phase transition dynamics to study evaporation-induced cooling as an example.

Freeze-drying is a commonly employed method in the food industry to extend shelf life of products. However, this process remains time and energy consuming. While higher shelf temperatures accelerate the process, they also pose the risk of product damage.

Traffic emissions are a dominant source of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in urban environments. Though tailpipe exhaust has drawn extensive attention, the impact of non-tailpipe emissions on atmospheric SOA has not been well studied. Here, a closure study was performed combining urban tunnel experiments and dynamometer tests using an oxidation flow reactor in situ photo-oxidation.

Freezing and lyophilization have been utilized for decades to stabilize pharmaceutical and food products. Freezing a solution that contains dissolved salt and/or organic matter produces pure primary ice crystal grains separated by freeze-concentrated solutions (FCS). The microscopic size of the primary ice crystals depends on the cooling conditions and the concentration of the solutes.

Dioscorea polystachya (Chinese yam) is a kind of medicine and food homologous crop, the tubers as its main production organ, with high potassium, low fiber, high protein and rich nutrition characteristics. In 2022, at the Chinese herbal medicine planting experimental site in Anguo, Baoding City, Hebei Province, China, we found the symptoms of Chinese yam decay during the storage, with an incidence of 15%~25%. The diseased part of Chinese yam tuber rots expands from the outside to the inside and sags, with a brown or dark brown discoloration, and the surface covered with a thick grayish green mold.
