One of the things I see is you are approaching it from strictly a physics standpoint. Understand with you as a ME. However from the chemistry (physical chemistry) standpoint which us mechanicals don't get a lot of exposure to energy of phase change is an important energy balance consideration. From the chemistry side the latent heat of fusion of melting ice has to be considered.
For me I think I will take two small glasses put an ice cube in each and sprinkle salt in one and watch both with an IR thermometer.
