Slurry ice is a biphasic system consisting of small spherical ice crystals surrounded by seawater at subzero temperature. Its employment was evaluated in the present work as a new chilled storage method for whole European hake (Merluccius merluccius) and compared to traditional flake icing. Different chemical analyses (nucleotide degradation, formaldehyde formation, lipid hydrolysis and oxidati...

Thermally incised meltwater channels that flow each summer across melt-prone surfaces of the Greenland ice sheet have received little direct study. We use high-resolution WorldView-1/2 satellite mapping and in situ measurements to characterize supraglacial water storage, drainage pattern, and discharge across 6,812 km(2) of southwest Greenland in July 2012, after a record melt event. Efficient ...

Results on isothermal stratification of ice particles in ice slurry storage tanks are presented. Furthermore in an extension the melting of ice particles by heat fluxes across the boundaries of storage vessels is also taken into consideration. A conservation equation for the ice particles, respectively the ice fraction, is then accompanied by a second basic differential equation, the energy con...

LONG TERM GOALS Our long term goal is a quantitative understanding of how the ocean and atmosphere interact in the presence of a sea ice cover, on both local and regional scales. Because the greatest uncertainties in this interaction involve the effects of shortwave radiation on the ice and upper ocean, research is focused on processes that control the vertical distribution, storage, and transp...

nowadays, people tend to consume functional foods for the treatment and prevention of diseases. production growth of functional foods obliged scientists to research about production, distribution and preservation conditions of these products. use of probiotic microorganisms in soy-based products may have advantages of both probiotics and soy on the human health. the probiotic soy-based ice-crea...

J.E. Braun, Ph. D., P.E. Purdue University This paper describes the development and validation of an improved mechanistic model for predicting the thermal performance of an area constrained ice storage system. Experimental data was obtained from a fully instrumented thermal storage test cell located within the Herrick Laboratories, Purdue University. Results for both charging and discharging cy...

Ice-slurry is an ideal form of ice product for ice-storage, which is an effective measure to save energy. The conventional producing method using super-cooled water suffers the troubles of instability and heavy dependence on electronic power. We propose a novel method to improve that: spraying water is super-cooled by evaporating in a chamber where the air is of low humidity and low wet bulb te...
