ICE QUANTITY CALCULATION FOR CONCRETE

TIME TEMPERATURE Ice Requirement NOTE : - As the

06:00 36.1 °C temperature varies
07:00 36.9 °C throughout the
08:00 37.4 °C day we can find
out exact required

Temperature of Aggregates Ts = 41 °C
Temperature of Cement Tc = 46.2 °C
Temperature of Water Tw = 35 °C
Moisture mass tempof Aggregates Tws = 0 °C

Mass of Aggregates Ws = 2000 Kg

Mass of Cement Wc = 375 Kg
Mass of Water Ww = 180 Kg
Moisture Mass of Aggregates Wws = 0 Kg

Specific Heat of cement and Aggregate = 0.22

Theoretical Temperatutre of Fresh S*(TsWs+TcWc)+TwWw+TwaWws
=
Concrete = S(Ws+Wc)+Ww+Wwa

= 40.1 °C

Specific Heat Capacity of Tank = 0.4 Jg^-1°C^-1

Specific latent heat of Fusion of Ice = 336 Jg^-1
Specific Heat Capacity of Water = 4.2 Jg^-1°C^-1

Heat Gained by ice to change into water = M*Specific latent heat of Fusion of Ice = M*336
at 0 degree C =

M*Specific Heat Capacity of Water*Desired Final Temp

=
Heat Gained by WATER to Come to =M*10*4.2
final temperature =

Amount of Water*Specific Heat Capacity of Water *

Heat lost by Tank and Water =
(Surrounding Temp-Desired Temp)

= 127200

Heat gained by Ice to melt and come to final temperature = Heat lost by tank and water

Heat Gained by ice to change into water at 0 degree C + Heat Gained by WATER to Come to final temperature
= Heat lost by Tank and Water
M*336+M*42 = 127200

Therefore mass of ice required to bring

1000 g of water to 10 degree = 337 gms

Therefore mass of ice required to bring 3365079365 gms Assuming 10000

1000*10000g of water to 10 degree Litres water (50
m3 Concrete
approx)
Therefore mass of ice required to bring = 3365 Kg
10000 Litres of water to 10 degree
