Frost formation and heat transfer on circular cylinders in cross-flow.
Author(s) : RAJU S. P., SHERIF S. A.
Type of article: Article, IJR article
Summary
The paper presents a transient model to predict the frosting process over a circular cylinder in a cross-flow of humid air. The transfer parameters are computed employing a numerical solution of the momentum, energy and diffusion boundary-layer equations, along with the continuity equation, using a finite difference scheme. Empirical correlations for thermal conductivity and density are utilized for closure purposes. Model results are compared with existing experimental data and with numerical data of previous investigators and are found to agree well in the applicable temperature and humidity ranges of the frost density and conductivity correlations.
