Abstract
ABSTRACT The Influence of composition and cooling rate on the size of paraffin (n-alkane) wax solids in some chilled synthetic and petroleum products has been well noted, but actual growth rate of n-alkane crystals has never been measured. In this paper an experiment for measuring growth rate 1s described. Identical composition and cooling rate conditions give a constant growth rate for a single crystal. However, the set of all growth rates from all crystals show that they are not constant, but rather distributed.
