Summary

The freezing characteristics of a single water droplet placed on the column edge were visually investigated using a video camera. The temperatures of the edge face and the environment air were independently controlled. The solidification process of the water droplet was discussed based on the many pictures obtained. The experimental results indicated that the freezing time of droplet was strongly affected by the edge temperature. Furthermore, the authors found that the water dispersion thermosensitivity slurry was effective for the observation of the temperature of the droplet. Consequently, it was indicated that the heat transfer characteristics of the droplet under freezing condition were mainly affected by both temperature of the air and surface of the flat plate.
