Summary

The solidification phenomenon of a porous medium saturated with a solution appears in the processes of solidification of a soil containing seawater, solidification of binary phase change material containing a high thermal conductivity material to enhance the heat transfer, and solidification to process or store food. The permeability of a porous medium in a state of solidification saturated with sodium chloride aqueous solution was measured by a transient method, with a varying volume fraction of liquid phase, an initial concentration of solution and a super-cooling degree of the solution just before start of solidification. An empirical equation of the permeability was obtained.
