This study aims to investigate the melting behavior of an ice plate with a calcium chloride solution in a rectangular container. When the ice layer is melted by the calcium chloride solution, the ice layer melts while absorbing the latent heat of fusion, and both the concentration difference and the temperature difference occur in the aqueous solution. Consequently, the melting behavior is expected to be complex. In this study, the melting behaviors have been examined by experiments. The effects of the initial concentration difference on both the melting mass of the ice layer and the temperature of the melting surface when the initial temperature was uniform were revealed from the present investigation.
