Abstract

To clarify the hydraulic characteristics of ice slurry which made from 6.5% ethylene glycol-water solution flowing through circular pipes of small diameter, experimental studies were performed. The flow pattern was observed and the pressure drop was measured in acrylic pipes with inner diameter of 24 mm. The results of flow visualization revealed that ice particles flowed along the top of pipes in the ranges of small ice fraction and low flow rate, while Ice particles diffused into the whole region of pipes flowed like a homogeneous flow for high flow rate and high ice fraction. An increase in frictional pressure drop was measured as the ice fraction increased in all pipes and unstable flow was observed for up-ward vertical pipe.
