Summary

Melting of slush ice in a horizontal cylindrical capsule has been investigated experimentally to determine the interaction of fluid flow induced by both motion of the slush ice and free convection owing to thermal and concentration diffusion. The slush ice, which is a mixture of fine ice particles and ethylene glycol aqueous solution, was utilized as a testing material and was heated by the capsule wall. Melting behaviour and melting rate of the slush ice were observed. The melting heat transfer of slush ice is markedly effected by free convection induced by thermal and solutal buoyancy forces.
