A system and method for estimating frost mass formed in a design component of a multi-component structure are disclosed. In one embodiment, the frost mass formed in the design component is iteratively estimated using a heat transfer rate at an interface between fluid and a frost layer in the design component, a height of the frost layer and a density of the frost layer.

Estimating frost mass formed in a design component of a multi-component structure

A system and method for estimating frost mass formed in a design component of a multi-component structure are disclosed. In one embodiment, the frost mass formed in the design component is iteratively estimated using a porosity parameter associated with a fluid medium, a height of a frost layer and/or a density of the frost layer in the design component.

A system and method for assessing thermal comfort in an enclosure is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes performing a numerical analysis on a calibration enclosure including a thermal manikin in a uniform thermal environment to obtain a surface heat transfer coefficient (h) for each body part of the thermal manikin. The method also includes performing a numerical analysis on an enclosure including one or more thermal manikins in a non-uniform thermal environment to obtain a total heat flux (q&#x2033;) for each body part of the one or more thermal manikins. The method further includes computing an equivalent temperature (t) of each body part of the one or more thermal manikins using the obtained associated h, the obtained associated q&#x2033;, and an associated surface temperature of the body part. Furthermore, the method includes evaluating thermal comfort in the enclosure based on each computed t.
