Summary

A mathematical model is presented to predict the behaviour of frost formation considering the air flow and the frost layer. The present model was validated by comparing it with several other analytical models and other experiments conducted by the authors. It was found that most of the previous models caused considerable errors depending on the working conditions or the correlations used. Numerical results were presented for the variations in heat and mass transfer during frost formation and for the behaviour of frost layer growth along the direction of air flow.
