A Behavior of Ice Growth around a Horizontal Cylinder in Water Flow

The behavior of ice growth around a horizontal cylincier in cold water flow is studied experimentally for the ranges of Reynolds numbers Re_d＝2.3×10^2〜8.6×10^4 and cooling temperature ratios θ_c＝6.3〜75.8. The local and average heat transfer coefficients at the ice-water interface are obtained from measured ice profiles by using a series, solution of the Laplace equation in the ice layer. Correlation equations for the average heat transfer are obtained for three regimes of Reynolds numbers. A correlation is also, obtained for the cooling capacity that can be stored in the ice layer around a cylinder
