In the citing paper
“This frost then deteriorates the system performances (Barrow, 1985; Guo et al., 2008; Sanders, 1974).”
From Modeling of a fan-supplied flat-tube heat exchanger exposed to non-uniform frost growth (2017) · cites this paper as Guo et al., 2008
In the citing paper
“This may result from the fact that the frost layer is always uneven during the entire frosting process, regardless of the types of plate surfaces, as seen in Fig. 13 (a) [115], (b) [117], (c) [116], and (d) [106].”
From Review on the measurement and calculation of frost characteristics (2018) · cites this paper as [117]
In the citing paper
“The frosting process on a cold surface is consisted of three stages: crystal growth, frost layer growth and frost layer full growth.”
In the citing paper
“The growth rate of frost thickness, the heating capacity and COP of the heat pump increased as the frosting time elapsed until the column-type frost layer is generated.”
From Heat transfer characteristics of the heat exchangers for refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump systems under frosting, defrosting and dry/wet conditions—A review (2017) · cites this paper as Guo et al. [37]
In the citing paper
“For constant outdoor temperature, the duration of first and third stage of growth formation are similar for relative humidity ranging from 65% to 85%.”
From Heat transfer characteristics of the heat exchangers for refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump systems under frosting, defrosting and dry/wet conditions—A review (2017) · cites this paper as Guo et al. [37]
In the citing paper
“The duration of second stage decreased with increase of relative humidity.”
From Heat transfer characteristics of the heat exchangers for refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump systems under frosting, defrosting and dry/wet conditions—A review (2017) · cites this paper as Guo et al. [37]
In the citing paper
“Therefore, heating capacity and COP are slightly reduced.”
In the citing paper
“In last stage, due to increased rate of frost layer formation, the air flow rate decreases and thermal resistance increases affecting heating capacity and COP negatively.”
In the citing paper
“In initial stage of frost formation heating capacity of ASHP unit increased.”
In the citing paper
“In the second stage, frost layer increases, which reduces the evaporating pressure and airflow rate marginally.”
In the citing paper
“However, the pressure drop is relatively less.”

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.
