ABSTRACT

A comparison of processes of free laminar convection of water during crystallization in a rectangular cell heated from one side at atmospheric or elevated (p = 50 MPa) external pressure is made. Thermodynamic properties of water at high pressures have been calculated using the empirical Tait equation of state and thermodynamic relations.
