Effect of ice growth rate on the measured Workman-Reynolds freezing potential between ice and dilute NaCl solutions.
Workman-Reynolds freezing potentials have been measured across the interface between ice and dilute NaCl solutions as a function of ice growth rate for three salt concentrations. Growth rates of up to 40 μm·s(-1) are used, and it is found that the measured voltage peaks at rates of ∼25 μm·s(-1). Our initial results indicate that the freezing potential can be used as a probe into various aspects of the DC electrical resistance of ice as a function of variables such as salt concentration.
