Crystallization behavior of hexadecane (C₁₆H₃₄), octadecane (C₁₈H₃₈), eicosane (C₂₀H₄₂), and docosane (C₂₂H₄₆) dispersions of similar mean droplet diameter (x_50.2 ≈ 15 µm) was investigated in quiescent systems and compared to crystallization under mechanical stress. In quiescent systems, the required supercooling decreased with increasing chain length of the alkanes to initiate crystallization. Crystallization of alkane dispersions under mechanical stress resulted in similar onset crystallization supercooling, as during quiescent crystallization. Increase of mechanical stress did not affect the onset crystallization supercooling within alkane dispersions.
