Abstract

Weight variations with time during the melting of suspended ice cubes under controlled conditions at various temperatures ranging from 10–45°C have been experimentally studied. The melting data have been used to determine certain parameters leading to the calculation of complete melting time, thickness of the water film on ice surface and the temperature at the interface of air and water films.
