Abstract
Spray freezing technology finds broad applications across various industries such as food and pharmaceutical, mining, and water treatment. The significance of spray freezing is to offer a clean and renewable mechanism to generate heating and cooling potentials, frozen particles, or purified liquids. While several studies on spray freezing has been reported in the literature, no compilation of the findings is available, hindering further development of this technology. This paper reviews the diverse applications of spray freezing, emphasizing its potential to address engineering problems. The multi-scale multi-physics nature of the process is illuminated by shedding light on the significant physical mechanisms, including the droplet freezing and spray physics. The modeling advancements related to these phenomena are reviewed, showing the strengths and deficiencies of the current mathematical frameworks for spray freezing. It is underscored that further development of spray freezing requires high resolution frameworks, incorporating the droplet freezing and dynamics models while considering two-way coupling effects of the thermal and flow models of the droplet and cold medium. Additionally, the importance of studying the methods to mitigate the nucleation process of water in an industrially-relevant manner is highlighted.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
