Experimental and modeling study of ice melting

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is applied to analyse the process of ice melting. Experimental results were compared to those obtained by a numerical simulation in which a conventional enthalpy formulation was applied. The effects of various parameters on the kinetics of transformations and therefore the shape of curves has been analysed and the importance of temperature gradients inside the sample evaluated.
