Numerical Modelling of Frost Formation of Flat Surface
Abstract Frost formation begins when humid air comes in contact with a cold surface kept below freezing temperature of water. Objective of the present study is to develop a numerical model which can predict frost formation parameters such as rate of frost growth, frost densification and to study effect of ambient conditions on these parameters. The one-dimensional pure implicit finite difference method is adopted for solving differential equations. Numerical code is written in MATLAB 2013. The proposed numerical model is validated against two independent published experimental data with 6.6 and 16.8% deviation. Effect of ambient parameters like wall temperature, ambient temperature, humidity and Reynolds number on frost growth and densification are investigated. Also effect of variable wall temperature and variable ambient temperature on frost growth rate is discussed.
