Publisher's Synopsis
This volume of papers has been produced in memory of Professor R.R. Gilpin, who was a pioneer in the field of freezing phenomena in ice-water systems. The subject has applications in ice formation in industrial plants, technologies for manufacturing crystals in space for semiconductors and computer chips and atmospheric physics and geophysics.;The book begins with a coverage of historical developments in the field and goes on to cover freezing and melting heat transfer, convective heat transfer in ice-water systems, frost formation, solidification and melting of solutions and atmospheric and marine icings.;It is aimed at researchers, graduate students and practicing engineers in freezing and melting heat transfer, heat pipes, mechanical, industrial and aeronautical engineering, astrophysics and geophysics.
