Measurement and numerical modelling of growth rate and salt entrapment during the directional solidification in a falling film of brine.

Summary

In practical slurry ice making applications, ice crystals are produced during the solidification of brine under nonlinear non-equilibrium conditions. The ice grows as dendritic crystals entrapping pockets of concentrated brine. This article presents an experimental and theoretical investigation which was undertaken to characterise the kinetics of ice layer growth and salt entrapment in a vertical falling film of brine.
