Frost formation process was studied by photographic observation, and frost formation types were classified into several groups according to their structure in the temperature range of 0 ∼ −25°C. Frost properties, density and effective thermal conductivity, were clarified in connection with the classified frost formation types, and the prediction of the thermal conductivity was performed by the presented structural model of a frost layer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
