Abstract
Icing is common in industry and nature and always has a negative effect. To cope with ice damage, it is necessary to understand the icing mechanisms. The presence of trapped air bubbles in ice is a common phenomenon during icing, and these bubbles affect the thermal, mechanical and other physical properties of ice. To understand the distribution characteristics of trapped air bubbles in ice, a water film freezing experimental setup is built. To clarify the effect of heat transfer on trapped air bubbles, five experiments of water film freezing under different freezing directions are carried out. The results showed that both egg-shaped and needle-shaped bubbles showed a tendency to increase and then decrease as the freezing direction changed from vertically upward to vertically downward. When the freezing direction angle is 135°, the widths of the two types of bubbles reach their maximum values, which are 182.5 μm and 134.3 μm, respectively. The study helps to understand and predict the growth and distribution of trapped air bubbles in ice, which in turn can provide a reference for the optimization of de-icing and ice-breaking techniques.
期刊介绍:
International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer serves as a world forum for the rapid dissemination of new ideas, new measurement techniques, preliminary findings of ongoing investigations, discussions, and criticisms in the field of heat and mass transfer. Two types of manuscript will be considered for publication: communications (short reports of new work or discussions of work which has already been published) and summaries (abstracts of reports, theses or manuscripts which are too long for publication in full). Together with its companion publication, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, with which it shares the same Board of Editors, this journal is read by research workers and engineers throughout the world.
