To experiment with the flow, bringing the pressure cushion of nitrogen into the vessel Dewar

value p1 to p2 has been much delayed by "boiling" intense liquid nitrogen compartment
device, "boiling" that foster and mass transfer (vapor nitrogen trained drops liquid nitrogen
from the exhaust pipe mouth).

In both experiments was the chosen method of injecting liquid nitrogen into the circuit of the
primary plug which favor the formation of ice in a shorter time. If the experiment conducted
with debit, delay return the pressure injection of liquid nitrogen to the value p2 led to higher
levels of liquid nitrogen in the bay device so that deposition layers of ice on the pipeline was
performed while on the surface greater than that achieved if no flow experiment. The longer
length of ice deposited contributed to reducing heat transfer (conduction and convection) of
water to the volume of liquid nitrogen and thus slow down the process of training primary ice
cap.
Conclusion
- Both experiments were conducted under similar conditions in terms of the geometrical and
physical, but one that carried out in the absence of flow;
- Just experiment conducted in the absence of flow was finished ice cap;
- Demineralized water at baseline in both cases had the same value, its subsequent
evolution is different;
- In the case of the experiment performed in the absence of flow through the test section,
raising the temperature of circulating water on the bypass contributed to the current (closed
loop) downstream of the plug ice influence indirectly and to a lesser extent the frost although
the growth rate it was higher;
- If the experiment conducted with minimum flow through the test section, increasing water
temperatures at its crossing through the area of influence of the device has helped to reduce
the thickness of the ice sheets directly influencing the delay in the formation of the ice cap;
- For both experiments conducted to observe a sharp cooling zone downstream of the outer
wall of the pipe plug immediately after the forming of ice (and up and down);
- Cooling the outer wall of the pipe testing in the influence area of the device being generally
better time signals a higher rate of increase in the thickness of ice deposits;
- For both experiments was chosen a method of injecting liquid nitrogen into the circuit of the
primary plug which favor the formation of ice in a short time;
- In the case of the experiment performed with minimal flow rate, the delay in restoring the
injection pressure of liquid nitrogen at the value P2 (due to avoid mass transfer) resulted in
increasing the level of liquid nitrogen in the compartment of the device favoring the deposit of
ice on the surface of greater within the duct which and it slowed the process itself.
