Type of article: Article

Summary

The present paper deals with a new method of defrosting using the frost sublimation phenomenon which occurs below the triple point of water (273.16 K, 610.5 Pa). The present experimental study examines the mass transfer of the annular frost layer developed on a cooling pipe exposed to an impinging jet flow. The morphology of the frost layer during sublimation was observed using a digital video recorder. The non-dimensional correlation equations of mass transfer of defrosting were derived as functions of various parameters.
