Heat and Mass Transfer to a Cryosurface in Free Convection
Open accessAbstract
Heat and mass transfer rates were measured experimentally and compared with analytically developed correlations for frost formation on a vertical flat plate in free convection. The plate was cooled internally to cryogenic temperatures (−310 F or liquid nitrogen temperatures), and both the laminar and turbulent flow regimes were investigated. In the laminar flow correlation, the effects of thermal diffusion and diffusion thermoeffect were included. The analytical and experimental heat transfer rates were in good agreement; however, the mass transfer results were affected by the presence of macromolecules of frost within the boundary layer.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
All prior theoretical models assume that water vapor is saturated at the interface between the air stream and the frost layer.
“All prior theoretical models assume the water vapor is saturated at the interface between the air stream and frost layer.”
From New model for frost growth rate (2004) · cites this paper as [1]
Our copy includes a table of saturation mass fractions (Table 3) and discusses the very small water-vapor mass fraction at the frost interface (Abstract, page not given). Neither passage says that all prior theoretical models assumed saturation at the air–frost interface; searches for that assumption did not locate such a statement. (LLM, conf=0.68)

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.
