Icicles.Liquid water coats an active (growing) icicle and extends up a short, narrow tube along the central axis (Fig. 18-55). Because the water–ice interface must have a temperature of 0 C, the water in the tube cannot lose energy through the sides of the icicle or down through the tip because there is no temperature change in those directions. It can lose energy and freeze

only by sending energy up (through distance L) to the top of the icicle, where the temperature Trcan be below 0oC.TakeL=0.12mandTr=5oC . Assume that the central tube and the upward conduction path both have cross-sectional area A. In terms of A, what rate is (a) energy conducted upward and (b) massconvertedfrom liquid to ice at the top of the central tube? (c) At what rate does the top of the tube move downward because of water freezing the central axis (Fig. 18-55). Because the water–ice interface must have a temperature of 0oC, the water in the tube cannot lose energy through there? The thermal conductivity of ice is 0.400 W/m=K, and the density of liquid water is 1000 kg/m3.

Understanding the concept of rate of conduction

According to Fourier's Law, the amount of time it takes for heat to go through a material is proportional to the negative gradient of the temperature as well as the cross-sectional area that is perpendicular to the gradient. We use the concept of rate of heat conducted. Using the equation of power, we can find the energy conducted. Differentiating the latent heat equation, we get the rate of mass conversion. Using the equation of density, we can write it in terms of area and height. Then, on differentiating it, we can find the rate of length movement.

Formulae:

The rate of conduction due to radiation,

Pcond=QtorkATH-TCL .......(i)

The heat released by the body due to fusion,

Q=Lfm .......(ii)

The density of the body,

ÒÏ=mV .......(iii)

03

(a) Calculation of the conducted upward energy rate

Using equation (i) of conduction rate and the given values, we get the rate of upward conduction as

Pcond=0.400 W/m.KA00C--5.00C0.12 m=16.66A≈16.7AW

Hence, the conduction rate at upward direction is16.7AW .

04

(b) Calculation of rate of mass converted from liquid to ice at the top of the central tube

Differentiating the equation (ii) with the respect to time, we get the rate of conduction as

Pcond=dmLfdt(∵Pcond=dQdt)=Lfdmdt

We can write the above equation as,

dmdt=PcondLf

We know the latent heat of fusion is Lf=3.33×105J/kg; plugging the values, we get

dmdt=16.7A W3.33×105 J/kg·1J/s1 W=5.02×10-5Akg/s

Hence, the rate of conversion of the mass is5.02×10-5Akg/s

05

(c) Calculation of the rate of top of the tube moving downward because of water freezing there

We know V=Ah, plugging it in the equation (iii), we get the mass of the water

m=ÒÏAh .......(iv)

Here area and density are constant.

Differentiating mass equation (a) with respect to t, we get

dmdt=ÒÏAdhdtdhdt=1ÒÏAdmdt

We know the density of water isÒÏ=1000 kg/m3 ; plugging the given values in the above equation, we get

dhdt=11000 kg/m3A5.02×10-5Akg/s=5.02×10-8m/s

Hence, the value of the rate of the height is5.02×10-8m/s
