Calculation Formula

Growth Rate = (0.5 * (0 - Temperature)) * (Humidity / 100) * Surface Area

Where:
Temperature: The current temperature in degrees Celsius.
Humidity: The relative humidity as a percentage.
Surface Area: The area in square centimeters where ice is forming.

Learn how to use the Ice Growth Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the current temperature in degrees Celsius.
  2. Enter the relative humidity as a percentage.
  3. Enter the surface area in square centimeters where ice is forming.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to estimate the ice growth rate.
  5. The result will be displayed in cm²/hour.

Working Principle

The calculator uses a simplified model to estimate ice growth rate. The growth rate is influenced by the temperature difference from the freezing point (0°C) and the humidity level. Higher humidity and lower temperatures generally lead to faster ice growth.

Example

If the temperature is -5°C, humidity is 80%, and the surface area is 100 cm², the estimated ice growth rate would be:

Growth Rate = (0.5 * (0 - (-5))) * (80 / 100) * 100 = 20 cm²/hour
