Kulacki1st ed. 2019.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2019.1 online resource (386 pages) illustrationsSpringerBriefs in Thermal Engineering and Applied Science,2193-25303-030-02615-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Chapter1: Introduction -- Chapter2: Prior Research -- Chapter3: A Model of the Defrost Process -- Chapter4: Solution Methods -- Chapter5: Experimental Design -- Chapter6: Results -- Chapter7: Conclusion.This SpringerBrief presents a recent advancement in modeling and measurement of the effect of surface wettability on the defrost process. Carefully controlled laboratory measurements of the defrosting of cooled surfaces are used to reveal the effect of surface wetting properties on the extent and speed of frost removal by melting or slumping. The experiments are accompanied by visualization of frost removal at several defrosting conditions. Analysis breaks the defrost process into three stages according to the behavior of the meltwater. Surface wetting factors are included, and become significant when sufficient meltwater accumulates between the saturated frost layer and the surface. The book is aimed at researchers, practicing engineers and graduate students.SpringerBriefs in Thermal Engineering and Applied Science,2193-2530ThermodynamicsHeat engineeringHeatTransmissionMass transferMaterials—SurfacesThin filmsEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transferhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T14000Surfaces and Interfaces, Thin Filmshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z19000Thermodynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21050Thermodynamics.Heat engineering.HeatTransmission.Mass transfer.Materials—Surfaces.Thin films.Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer.Surfaces and Interfaces, Thin Films.Thermodynamics.551.5253Liu Yangauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut651655Kulacki Francis Aauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910337609703321The Effect of Surface Wettability on the Defrost Process2296040UNINA
