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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Thermal Engineering and Applied Science,$x2193-2530 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aHeat engineering 606 $aHeat$xTransmission 606 $aMass transfer 606 $aMaterials?Surfaces 606 $aThin films 606 $aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T14000 606 $aSurfaces and Interfaces, Thin Films$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z19000 606 $aThermodynamics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21050 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aHeat engineering. 615 0$aHeat$xTransmission. 615 0$aMass transfer. 615 0$aMaterials?Surfaces. 615 0$aThin films. 615 14$aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer. 615 24$aSurfaces and Interfaces, Thin Films. 615 24$aThermodynamics. 676 $a551.5253 700 $aLiu$b Yang$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0651655 702 $aKulacki$b Francis A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337609703321 996 $aThe Effect of Surface Wettability on the Defrost Process$92296040 997 $aUNINA
