Measurement of the surface heat transfer coefficient during freezing on a scraped surface.

Summary

Experimental measurements in a laboratory flow cell have shown that heat flux through a scraped surface, on which ice crystallization is occurring, follows a cyclic pattern over time. This is due to the changing resistance offered by the growing ice layer. The time-averaged overall heat transfer coefficient increases with scraping frequency, but to a much lesser degree than is predicted by the penetration theory, indicating that this model is inappropriate to describe heat transfer with simultaneous crystallization.
