Description: | CRREL Report Abstract: The heat transfer processes associated with melting and refreezing adrill hole 500 min depth and 0.150 min initial radius through an ice shelf were approximately analyzed. The results were expressed in graphical form showing the time available for experimentation under the hole as a function of heating duration and heating strength. It was found that the refreezing of the drill hole had a much slower rate than the melting of the hole. |
