ShareSummary
An analytical model is developed by considering the molecular diffusion of water and heat generation due to the sublimation of water-vapour in the frost layer. Heat generation in the frost layer is expressed in terms of water-vapour density and the absorption coefficient. The predictions agree with the existing experimental data.
