An experimental study was reported earlier on the development of frost formation by humid flow passing over the cylinder. In this study, dimensionless correlations based on previous experimental data and reported empirical correlations of others for frost properties are proposed. The frost conduction coefficient is determined by using an analytical equation. Subsequently, correlations are sought for the heat conduction coefficient, dimensionless temperature, dimensionless thickness and density. The advantages of these correlations to any other proposed correlations are their explicit and dependency on time. Furthermore, an estimation of characteristics of the frost is followed by using the same approach and the established correlations.
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.
