Abstract

The internal and external heat transfer of a melting spherical ice particle less than 500 micrometer radius has been investigated theoretically. The effect of an internal circulation and eccentric location of the ice core was modeled. These two effects combined to reduce total melting times by about 10%.-from Authors
