Author(s) : CLELAND A. C., EARLE R. L.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

IN THE PREDICTION OF FREEZING-TIMES, UNCERTAINTIES IN AVAILABLE PHYSICAL DATA ARE GENERALLY SUCH THAT A METHOD ACCURATE TO ABOUT 10% WILL BE ADEQUATE. A METHOD IS PROPOSED THAT MEETS THIS CRITERION AND IS SIMPLE TO USE. IT IS BASED ON PLANK'S EQUATION, BUT USES A NEW CONCEPT, THE NUMBER OF EQUIVALENT HEAT TRANSFER DIMENSIONS, TO TAKE THE SHAPE OF THE PRODUCT INTO ACCOUNT. VALUES OF THIS NEW PARAMETER ARE PROPOSED FOR BOTH REGULAR AND IRREGULAR SHAPES, AND PREDICTIONS ARE COMPARED WITH PUBLISHED EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS.
