Frost Formation With Varying Environmental Parameters
Abstract
In practical applications frost formation often takes place with varying environmental parameters (air velocity, temperature, and humidity). Most correlations that have been developed are for constant parameters. Since the frost formation process is dependent on both time and on the history of the frost layer, the correlations for constant environmental parameters will not work when the parameters vary. For this reason, a study was made to develop a method to predict frost formations with varying parameters. A theoretical model of frost growth based on molecular diffusion of water vapor at the frost surface and using energy and mass balances was developed. The model can incorporate varying environmental parameters. The model uses functions relating heat and mass transfer coefficients at the frost surface to the environmental parameters. The model was first tested and calibrated using data taken by previous investigators. A facility was then built to test the validity of the model for varying environmental parameters. Tests were made for changes in humidity and air velocity. The model showed good agreement with the basic trends observed for varying parameters. The qualitative results were generally within 25 percent of the predicted values for time periods up to 3 hr.

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.
