Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Most experimental tests have been conducted on horizontally assembled plates or fin-and-tube heat exchangers under horizontal air flow conditions.

    “In addition, most experimental tests have been con ducted on horizontally assembled plates [12 -17] or fin-and-tube heat exchangers under horizontal air flow conditions [18 -21].”
  • Structural changes in the frost layer during permeation tend to increase both frost density and thermal conductivity with time.

    “This will result in structural changes in the frost layer that tends to increase both the frost density and thermal conductivity with time.”

  • Only Sherif et al. (1993) and Le Gall et al. (1997) proposed models to account for the frost characteristic of partial melting and refreezing that occurs when the frost surface reaches 0 °C (permeation).

    “While many research efforts have proposed different models of frost growth, only Sherif et al. (1993) and Le Gall et al. (1997) proposed model to account for the frost characteristic of partial melting and refreezing that occurs when the frost surface reaches 0 o C, which is known as permeation process.”

    From Studies of an air cooler under frost condition (2019) · cites this paper as Le Gall et al. (1997)

  • During permeation, the frost layer undergoes a cycle of thinning and densification due to melting and subsequent formation on an icy sub layer at the top of the deposit.

    “During this period, the frost layer undergoes a cycle of thinning and densification due to the melting and subsequent formation on an icy sub layer at the top of the deposit.”

    From Studies of an air cooler under frost condition (2019) · cites this paper as Le Gall et al. (1997)

  • The 'hand-to-hand' diffusion process could increase the effective diffusivity in frost.

    “This so-called 'hand-to-hand' diffusion process, already reported for the snow case (Le Gall and Grillot, 1997), could increase the effective diffusivity.”

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.
