An improved model for predicting performance of finned tube heat exchanger under frosting condition, with frost thickness variation along fin

Frost accumulation on a heat exchanger, a direct result of combined heat and mass transfer between the moist air flowing across a cold surface, causes heat transfer performance degradation due to the insulating effect of frost layer and the coil blockage as the frost grows. The complex geometry of f...
