Abstract:
The effect of cold plate temperature on water droplet freezing process on hydrophobic surface was investigated; the water droplet freezing time and freezing shape were compared. The experimental results showed the water droplet freezing time decreases with the decreasing of cold plate temperature. The lower the cold plate temperature is, the stronger the dendritic frost crystals grow on the frozen water droplet surface. A mathematic model for the water droplet freezing time was proposed based on energy conversation, the effect of cold plate temperature on water droplet freezing was analysed, and the prediction results of the model is in general agreement the experimental results.
