Abstract
A mathematical model is presented to predict the frost properties and heat and mass transfer within the frost layer formed on a cold plate. The model consists of the laminar flow equations for air-side and the empirical correlation of local frost density. The correlation of local frost density used in this study is obtained from various experimental conditions by considering frosting parameters. The numerical results are compared with experimental data to validate the model, and agree well with experimental data within a maximum error of 9%.
