Summary

Experiments were performed to determine the effect of salinity level on melting heat transfer. Emphasis was placed on interpreting the heat transfer mechanism which dominates the solid-liquid interface situation. Measurements were carried out for saline water of 0.5-3.5 weight % in salinity, while the ambient temperature ranged from 1.8 to 24.0 deg C. It was found that the flow patterns around the ice cylinder were a strong function of the saline water concentration, which then considerably affected the local heat transfer coefficient along the melting ice cylinder.
