Freezing time of a slab using the method of lines.

Author(s) : FERREIRA S. R.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

A one-dimensional mathematical model has been developed to solve the heat conduction equation and simulate the freezing process for a slab. The mathematical model was solved using finite differences and the method of lines (MOL).
In MOL, spatial derivatives are discretized by finite differences, and the resulting system in time is integrated using an appropriate solver. Several sets of thermal properties were selected to simulate the process. Predicted freezing time values were compared to 142 published experimental data sets. Predictions obtained by published numerical methods were compared to the experimental data. The freezing time predictions of the proposed model give a percentage error in the range of -4.55?
