Summary

For the experimental method, a droplet was suspended in a cold air stream from the junction of a thermocouple. The droplet's temperature transition was accurately measured and the freezing of the droplet observed. The numerical models developed predicted the temperature transition and the freezing time of the droplet. For the numerical method, a simple heat balance model was an accurate means of predicting the freezing time of the droplet.
