TL;DR: Advances in Heat Transfer as mentioned in this paper provides in-depth review articles over a broader scope than in traditional journals or texts, which serve as a broad review for experts in the field and are also of great interest to non-specialists who need to keep up to date with the results of the latest research.
Abstract: Advances in Heat Transfer fills the information gap between regularly scheduled journals and university-level textbooks by providing in-depth review articles over a broader scope than in traditional journals or texts. The articles, which serve as a broad review for experts in the field are also of great interest to non-specialists who need to keep up-to-date with the results of the latest research. This serial is essential reading for all mechanical, chemical, and industrial engineers working in the field of heat transfer, or in graduate schools or industry. * Compiles the expert opinions of leaders in the industry* Fills the information gap between regularly scheduled journals and university-level textbooks by providing in-depth review articles over a broader scope than in traditional journals or texts* Essential reading for all mechanical, chemical, and industrial engineers working in the field of heat transfer, or in graduate schools or industry

TL;DR: In this article, the melting of a vertical ice plate into a calcium chloride aqueous solution (CaCl 2 -H 2 O mixture) in a rectangular cavity is considered numerically and experimentally.
Abstract: The melting of a vertical ice plate into a calcium chloride aqueous solution (CaCl 2 -H 2 O mixture) in a rectangular cavity is considered numerically and experimentally. The ice plate melts spontaneously with decreasing temperature at the melting front even when there exists no initial temperature difference between ice and liquid. Visual observations in the liquid reveal a complicated natural convection affected by the concentration/ temperature gradients which appear near the melting front. Melt water gradually contaminates an upper region in the initially homogeneous liquid, that causes the melting rate to decrease, Aspect ratio H/W of the liquid region does not affect the melting rate within an early melting stage, however large aspect ratio causes the melting rate to decrease during the melting process. A two-dimensional numerical model reflecting actual ice melting conditions predicts, approximately, the transient melting mass, and the transient temperature/concentration decrease in the melting system
