UWM CIO Office Results Before and After Using Thin Layer Ring Comparison of liquid fraction at 7200s 2
UWM CIO Office Conclusion 3 A thin layer ring structure is studied statistically to enhance ice formation. Material has the greatest impact on ice increased area. Arrangement has the second place of impact on ice increased area. Thickness has the trifling effect on ice increased area. Two optimal conditions (A3B2C1 & A1B1C3) of thin layer ring have been found.
