ABSTRACT

A device of cool-thermal discharge system with performance improved has been developed by complete removal of melt with time-velocity variation of flowing air during on-peak power consumption. The simulation of estimating the thickness of ice melted and the thermal penetration distance in ice layer region with convective transfer by controlling air velocity with specified discharging fluxes on free surface has been derived. Three examples of different fluxes of cool-thermal discharges with constant inlet temperature of flowing air have been illustrated.

Keywords: cool thermal discharge, melt removal, time-velocity variation, moving boundary
