Simulation of four pure conduction paraffin-wax freezing experiments

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6653090
;
Four freezing experiments with N-Octadecane paraffin wax are described. Their results are analyzed using a variety of mathematical techniques for conduction phase-change problems. It is concluded, among other things, that the effective thermal conductivity of the solid wax in this case is about 3.5 times the literature value.
