Authors:
- Discusses experiments on frost growth and melting in a controlled thermal environment
- Visualizes frost formation and image reduction to quantitative data via digital analysis
- Develops a comprehensive theoretical model of the frost growth and melting processes
- Validates the theoretical model to extent possible with data obtained from digital analysis
- Provides an estimation of frost porosity and related thermophysical properties from digital reduction of normal images of frost
