[In German. / En allemand.]

Author(s) : ADAM H. D.

Type of article: Article

Summary

FROST FORMATION IS DESCRIBED AS THE DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM BETWEEN CRYSTAL NUCLEATION AND GROWTH OF THE FORMED NUCLEI WITH CONSTANT SUPERSATURATION AT THE PHASE BOUNDARY. THE A. HAS SHOWN THAT, OWING TO THE INTERFACE FORMED, THE HEAT OF SUBLIMATION OF FROST BECOMES LESS THAN THAT OF ICE. THIS EXPLAINS THE INCREASE OF THE MASS / TOTAL HEAT FLOW RATIO WHICH HAS OFTEN BEEN OBSERVED IN THE FORMATION OF ROUGH-SURFACE FROST LAYERS.
