Summary

There were three categories of steady-state ice-shape contours: 1) thin, almost concentric ice formations (high Reynolds and/or low cooling-temperature-ratio values); 2) elongated ice shapes with a dominant axis either parallel or perpendicular to the crossflow; and 3) large ice deposits connecting adjacent tubes and leading to ice bridging of varying extent (low Reynolds and/or high cooling-temperature-ratio values). The ice formations will, when compared to non-icing tube banks at similar Reynolds numbers, either increase or decrease the heat transfer rates, depending upon the volume of ice accumulated. Correlations for Nusselt number and the total amount of ice volume produced on both staggered and in-line tube banks with ice formations at steady state were developed.
