Notes:
Ice crystals were grown in water or sodium chloride solutions by direct contact with evaporating butane. In water subcooled 0.01° to 0.05°C., the particles grew about one-quarter to one-half as fast as fast as predicted from heat transfer correlations. The growth rates in 2% salt solution were about sevenfold lower than those obtained in water at the same subcooling, because the concentration difference for salt diffusion lowered the interface temperature. Calculations indicate the diffusion effect to be much greater for disk-shaped particles than for spheres.
