Type of article: Article

Summary

THE PHASE-CHANGE MEDIUM WAS 99 PERCENT PURE N-EICOSANE PARAFFIN. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE AMOUNT OF MASS THAT SOLIDIFIED DURING A GIVEN FREEZING PERIOD WAS INSENSITIVE TO THE INCLINATION OF THE CAPSULE, AS WAS THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY EXTRACTED FROM THE CAPSULE. ONLY HIGHLY LOCALIZED QUANTITIES SUCH AS THE LOCAL FROZEN LAYER THICKNESS REFLECTED THE INCLINATION OF THE CYLINDER. PARAMETRIC VARIATIONS WERE ALSO PERFORMED FOR THE DEGREE OF SUBCOOLING OF THE CAPSULE WALL BELOW THE FUSION TEMPERATURE AND FOR THE DEGREE OF SUPERHEATING OF THE LIQUID PHASE AT THE ONSET OF FREEZING.
