Thermal effect of a crude oil layer under freshwater ice / by E.C. Chen and D.L. Desai.: En36-522/94-1977E-PDF
"The present work investigates the thermal effect of a crude oil layer under fresh-water ice whose surface is superimposed by heat radiation. Experiments were carried out in a cold room at -l5°C with oil thickness, ice thickness and radiation intensity as variables. It was found that the oil affected the linearity of the temperature profile, reduced the ice growth and decreased the loss in sensible heat of the ice. The radiation intensity affected thecurvature of the ice temperature profile as well as the loss in sensible heat. However, neither the oil nor the ice thickness was found to have any unusual effect on the thermal behaviour of an oiled ice"--Abstract.
