Numerical prediction of frost formation on cooled heat exchangers

Abstract:

The development of an improved model to predict frost formation growth is presented and discussed. The model is based on molecular diffusion of water vapor, energy and mass balances as well as equations of state. Numerical results revealed that the proposed model reliably predicted the frost formation key parameter (frost thickness and density) and compared well with existing experimental data as well as other analytical models. © 1988.
