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

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

IMPROVED EMPIRICAL FORMULAE FOR TWO EXISTING GEOMETRIC FACTORS WERE DEVELOPED BY THE AUTHORS ; THESE DEPEND ON T BIOT NUMBER AND PARAMETERS THAT DESCRIBE OBJECT SHAPE. THESE FORMULAE ARE ACCURATE FOR BOTH FREEZING AND THAWING OF AN EXTENDED RANGE OF REGULAR MULTIDIMENSIONAL SHAPES AND FOR A WIDER RANGE OF CONDITIONS THAN THE ORIGINAL FORMULAE. AS THE IMPROVED GEOMETRIC FACTORS ARE BOTH ACCURATE AND GENERALLY APPLICABLE THERE IS NO NEED FOR SHAPE-SPECIFIC FREEZING AND THAWING TIME PREDICTION FORMULAE TO BE DEVELOPED.
