Ice Accretion on the Inner Surface of a Water-Heater Channel Wall
摘要
A numerical simulation of the change in ice thickness in a rectangular cross-section channel of a solar water heater filled with water during its freezing was performed. Based on the developed algorithm, a calculation of the change in the thickness of ice formed in the channel with time was carried out for different ambient air temperatures. An approximate analytical relationship was obtained, allowing the approximation of numerical results with an accuracy of up to 1% in the considered range of variation of the main process parameters.
