Transient freezing of liquids in forced laminar flow inside a parallel plate channel

摘要

A simple analytical approximative solution was given for calculating the time dependent development of the ice-layers at the cooled walls inside a parallel plate channel. By ignoring the effect of acceleration, resulting from converging ice-layers in the axial direction, an analytical solution for the variation of the ice-layer thickness with time and axial position could be obtained. The approximative solution was checked by numerical calculations and good agreement was found.
