Abstract
In the frost formation process, the growth of the frost layer and crystallization of frost depend on several factors such as: the cooling surface temperature where the frost is formed, the temperature and humidity of the humid air, air velocity, pressure, cooling surface's shape, dimensions, orientation, roughness and wettability, and the time elapsed since the start of frost formation. In this study, the effects of cooling surface's shape and dimensions on frosting phenomena were investigated.
