Latent heat of ice

Melting interfacial ice. In this case, due to the large latent heat of ice melting, q, we can assume that the interfacial temperature remains almost constant at T == 0°C, see figure 2. Mathematically, the problem in 2 is similar to the problem of a "constant surface... 

Unfrozen water content, UFW (g FI2O/g solids), was obtained from the relationship between latent heat of ice melting AH, J/g solids) and total water content (g/g solids) using Equation 27.1 (Laaksonen and Ross, 2000) ... 

Examples.—(1) If the specific volume of ice is 1-087, and that of water unity, find the lowering of the freezing point of water when the pressure increases one atmosphere (latent heat of ice = 80 cal.). Here v2 - = 0 087,... 

Figure 2 Shelf and vial temperature for shelf-ramp cooling 2mL of 10% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) in a 5 mL vial instrumented with a 36 gauge externally attached thermocouple. Nucleation occurs at —14°C, after which the supercooling is consumed by the latent heat of ice crystallization. The subsequent solidification of the nucleated volume occurs with a gradual temperature decrease (From Ref 3).

A man of weight 100 kg standing on skis 2 m long and 0.10 m wide slides on the 2° mountain slope, at 0°C. Calculate the work done against friction when the ski slides a distance equal to its own length. Hence calculate the average thickness of the water film beneath each ski. (The latent heat of fusion of ice is 330 MJ m °.)... 

The cloudiness of ordinary ice cubes is caused by thousands of tiny air bubbles. Air dissolves in water, and tap water at 10°C can - and usually does - contain 0.0030 wt% of air. In order to follow what this air does when we make an ice cube, we need to look at the phase diagram for the HjO-air system (Fig. 4.9). As we cool our liquid solution of water -i- air the first change takes place at about -0.002°C when the composition line hits the liquidus line. At this temperature ice crystals will begin to form and, as the temperature is lowered still further, they will grow. By the time we reach the eutectic three-phase horizontal at -0.0024°C we will have 20 wt% ice (called primary ice) in our two-phase mixture, leaving 80 wt% liquid (Fig. 4.9). This liquid will contain the maximum possible amount of dissolved air (0.0038 wt%). As latent heat of freezing is removed at -0.0024°C the three-phase eutectic reaction of... 

For example, in the case of the reversible isothermal transformation of ice to water at the melting point (273 K), the heat gained by the ice will be the latent heat of fusion (A//f = 6(X)6 J mol" ) and a corresponding quantity of heat will be lost by the surrounding, and... 

Variations in cooling load can be provided from the latent heat of melting of ice or a frozen eutectic. Ice can be formed by allowing it... 

The basic idea of such systems is that snow/ice is stored in a more or less water tight pond where a cold carrier is cooled by the snow, to utilize the large latent heat of fusion. For comfort cooling about 90% of the extracted energy is in the phase change, i.e., the melting. The cold carrier is either circulated between the load and the snow or rejected after it has been used for cooling. 

In the latest experimental work131 not only the heat conductivities of ice and water, but also the latent heat of fusion were considered, but convection still disregarded. The importance of the refinements of the theory is clear from the comparison of the most recent value for the ysl of the ice - water interface, namely 29 erg/cm2, with the early result129) of 7si = 41 erg/cm2. The probable limits of error were given as 9 erg/cm2 in the early, and as 2 erg/cm2 in the later paper the former estimate appears to be too optimistic. For the interface of solid and liquid lead, 7S) = 76 erg/cm2 was calculated130). 

Latent heat of fusion The amount of heat required to transform a specified mass of ice into liquid water or the amount of heat that must be removed to transform a specified mass of liquid water... 

Figure 3.3 shows a typical freezing curve which results when heat is removed at a continuous rate from foodstuffs and the temperature decreases. The curve has three zones first, the removal of sensible heat from the food between the initial temperature and the freezing temperature second, the removal of the latent heat of fusion leading to a change of state and the formation of ice crystals and third, further sensible heat removal down to the required storage temperature. A number of features of the freezing curve require explanation. Whilst... 

Scottish chemist, physicist, and physician. Professor of chemistry at Glasgow. He clearly characterized carbon dioxide ( fixed air ) as the gas which makes caustic alkalies mild, and distinguished between magnesia and lime. He discovered the latent heats of fusion and vaporization, measured the specific heats of many substances, and invented an ice calorimeter.
