Lenic et al.'s transient two-dimensional mathematical model could successfully predict real behavior of chillers, such as frost layer thickness, air and frost temperatures, with a relative error of 1-16% compared to experimental data under frost formations.
“The developed mathematical model could successfully predict the real behavior of chillers, such as the frost layer thickness, air and frost temperatures, with a relative error of 1-16% compared to experimental data under frost formations.”
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 Lenic et al. [26]
In most experimental researches, the airflow rate across the finned-tube heat exchanger was maintained constant throughout the frosting test, although frost grows continuously.
“Second, the airflow rate across the finned-tube heat exchanger is maintained to be constant throughout the frosting test in most of the experimental researches [5,10,11,13,20], although frost grows continuously.”

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.
