We analyze thermodynamics of water samples confined in nanopores and provethat although the freezing temperature can be dramatically lower, thesuppression of the ice nucleation leading to the freezing temperaturedepression is a truly macroscopic effect rather than a consequence ofmicroscopic interactions. The freezing transition itself is a truly collectivephenomenon described by a macroscopic order parameter (the nearly homogeneousdensity of the liquid within the pore away from the pores wall) exactly in thesame way as in the bulk liquid. The thermodynamics properties of the confinedand the bulk liquid can be described by macroscopic thermodynamics and bereadily related to each other simply by proper inclusion of the additionalLaplace pressure exerted by the solid-liquid boundary.

How does confinement in nano-scale pores change the thermodynamic properties and the nature of phase transitions of water?
