The Specific Heat of Saline Ice

A calorimetric experiment was performed to determine empirically the dependence of the specific heat of ice with salinity 0-10‰ over the temperature range from –23° C to the melting point The experimental results agree with the theoretical model determined by Schwerdtfeger (1963) for calculating the...

Description
Summary:A calorimetric experiment was performed to determine empirically the dependence of the specific heat of ice with salinity 0-10‰ over the temperature range from –23° C to the melting point The experimental results agree with the theoretical model determined by Schwerdtfeger (1963) for calculating the specific heat except within several degrees of the melting point and for very pure ice.
