Frost growth on subfreezing surfaces sharply increases thermal resistance.
“When humid air encounters subfreezing surfaces, the inevitable nucleation and growth of frost sharply increase thermal resistance, diminish heat transfer efficiency, elevate pressure drops, and can ulti mately trigger operational failures or system shutdowns [5,6].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
