The purpose of this paper is to report some of the melting characteristics of a horizontal ice cylinder immersed in quiescent saline water at a salinity level of 3.5 wt% for ambient temperatures ranging from 2.8 to 20.3 C. Flow visualization photographs for free convection flow adjacent to the melting ice surface obtained by illuminating suspended particles in saline water are presented. Local and average heat transfer coefficients at the ice-saline water interface were extensively determined using ice profiles measured from photographs of the ice layer. The experimental results for the average Nusselt numbers are compared with the experimental data from a normal circular cylinder without melting.
