Abstract
Quantitative analysis of ice and frost formation is being carried out on an unbounded plate and an unbounded cylinder that model an air cooler wall. The rate of ice and frost layer growth on the given surfaces is estimated depending on thermal physical parameters of the process in terms of a model of Stephan problem type.
