Type of article: Article

Summary

THE MECHANICAL INSTABILITY OF THE CRYODEPOSIT (FROST) FORMED FROM A BINARY GAS MIXTURE (MOIST AIR) ONTO A VERTICAL ISOTHERMAL CRYOSURFACE, CAN ESPECIALLY BE OBSERVED UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF FREE CONVECTION. THE PAPER OFFERS AN HYPOTHESIS ON THE POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THIS INSTABILITY, WHICH IS TESTED BY COMPARING AN EMPIRICALLY DETERMINED TEMPERATURE RANGE, IN WHICH AT THE SAME TIME THERE EMERGES AN IN THE GROWTH KINETICS OF THE CRYODEPOSIT, MECHANICAL INSTABILITY AND THE MARKED PRESENCE OF A FOG SUBLAYER IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER, WITH A THEORETICALLY DETERMINED TEMPERATURE RANGE MARKED BY MAXIMUM THICKNESS OF THE FOG SUBLAYER.
