As the frost layer thickens, latent-heat removal becomes impaired, raising the surface temperature and triggering widespread ice-crystal melting.
“In practical operation, as the frost layer thickens, latent-heat removal be comes impaired, raising the surface temperature and triggering wide spread ice-crystal melting.”
From Analysis of long-term growth characteristics of frost layer on inclined cold surface of microchannel heat exchanger (2026) · cites this paper as [16]
Gravity drains meltwater down the incline, where it conducts heat away and re-solidifies in cooler zones, forming new ice structures.
“Gravity then drains the meltwater down the incline, where it conducts heat away and re-solidifies in cooler zones, forming new ice structures [16].”
From Analysis of long-term growth characteristics of frost layer on inclined cold surface of microchannel heat exchanger (2026) · cites this paper as [16]
In long-term operation, the frost layer will melt and then solidify.
“In the long-term operation process, the frost layer will melt and then solidify.”

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.
