Abstract

A theoretical and experimental investigation of a water jet impinging on a melting solid surface has been carried out. Ice, octane, p‐xylene, and olive oil served as the meltable solid materials, comprising a Prandtl number range of 5 to 2 800. An available laminar stagnation flow model was utilized to describe melting heat transfer in the jet impingement region. Melting rate measurements were found to agree quite well with the values predicted with this model.
