Abstract
Over the last few years, many works have been developed to study the influence of some factors like the mass flow, pipe diameter or ice contents on the pressure drop characteristics and heat transfer process when using ice slurry as liquid secondary refrigerant. Nevertheless, most of these works present results of great scientific interest, but hardly applicable to different situations to those of test conditions and therefore they have a limited interest when approaching the design of practical ice slurry installations. Based on the dimensional analysis, the work reported in this paper try to determine which are the variables that explain the thermal and hydraulic behaviour of ice slurry, to fix the influence of these variables and to present the results so that they can be used as a tool of design for ice slurry applications. Experimental studies were performed to clarify the thermal and hydraulic characteristics of ice slurry with a 3% sodium chloride-water solution flowing in circular ...
