Question

Calculate the rate of formation of ice (in centimeters/hour) on the bottom surface of the ice slab. Take the thermal conductivity of ice to be 0.0040 cal/s-cm-degree C, the density to be 0.92 g/cm³, and the heat of fusion to be 80 cal/g. Assume that no heat enters or leaves the water through the walls of the tank.

A tank of water has been outdoors in cold weather, and a slab of ice 4.6 cm thick has formed on its surface (see the figure). The air above the ice is at -15°C. Calculate the rate of formation of ice (in centimeters per hour) on the ice slab. Take the thermal conductivity of ice to be 0.0040 cal/s·cm·°C, its density to be 0.92 g/cm³, and its latent heat of fusion to be 333 kJ/kg. Assume no energy transfer through the tank walls or bottom.

A tank of water has been outdoors in cold weather, and a slab of ice $5.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ thick has formed on its surface (Fig. 19-42). The air above the ice is at $-10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Calculate the rate of formation of ice (in centimeters per hour) on the ice slab. Take the thermal conductivity and density of ice to be $0.0040 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{s} \cdot \mathrm{cm} \cdot \mathrm{C}^{\circ}$ and $0.92 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$. Assume that energy is not transferred through the walls or bottom of the tank.

00:01 All right, so let's say we have a tank of water resting on a floor like this, and we want to find the rate of formation on the bottom surface of, sorry, we have ice forming on the surface like this.
00:16 And so we're told the conductivity of ice to be 0 .004 calories per second per centimeter per degree celsius, and the density of ice will take 0 .92 grams per cubic centimeter.
00:34 And the heat capacity, or sorry, the heat of fusion, not the heat capacity, the heat of fusion, is 80 calories per gram.
00:46 So let's assume the temperature difference between the ice and the surrounding air is negative 14 degrees celsius.
00:55 The one we'll have is the heat flow through this is going to be, kappa times a times like delta t over delta x, which is like our thickness.
01:10 And we can rearrange this as the heat flow is like the mass formation of ice times the latent heat of fusion.
01:18 And this is equal to kappa times a times delta t over delta x.
01:25 Now our mass formation is going to be like our density times the change in volume over time...
