This Brief is aimed at engineers and researchers involved in the refrigeration industry:
specifically those interested in energy utilization and system efficiency. The book presents
what the authors believe is the first comprehensive frost melting study involving all aspects
of heat and mass transfer. The volume's description of in-plane and normal digital images of
frost growth and melting is also unique in the field and the digital analysis technique offers
an advantage over invasive measurement methods. The scope of book's coverage includes modeling
and experimentation for the frost formation and melting processes. The key sub-specialties to
which the book are aimed include refrigeration system analysis and design coupled heat and
mass transfer and phase-change processes.
