Abstract
The aim of this study is to clarify the effects of addition of polypeptides on the melting of ice particles in ice slurry flow in mini-channels. The polypeptides are a part of winter flounder antifreeze protein. We captured the images of ice particles and ice-particle clusters. We measured the dimensions and velocities for the ice particle (clusters) from the images. It was found that the melting of ice particle (clusters) in the case with the polypeptides was more gradual than that without the polypeptides. Furthermore, the velocity of ice particle clusters was found to be lower than that without the polypeptides.
