Abstract
The present paper deals with the heat and mass transfer characteristics in the production process and melting of ice slurry, to which an increasing interest was paid due to its applications not only for cold thermal storage but also the energy transportation in high density and emergency cooling system. The attention was mainly paid, from the physical point of view, for the production mechanism of fine ice particle by the moving cooled plate method and for the flow and melting characteristics of ice slurry through the rectangular duct. In the production process of ice slurry by the moving cooled wall, the adhesion mechanism of fine ice particle was discussed. For the melting process of ice slurry flow, on the other hand, the behavior of ice particle and its effects on the heat transfer at the retuning bend were discussed.
