Abstract
The quasisteady method of analysis has been used to determine the frost depth below refrigerated warehouses. For the case when the ground temperature is different from phase change temperature, the solution is obtained by numerical integration of the equation governing the phase change process. When the ground temperature approaches the phase change temperature closed form solution is obtained. The results obtained from the quasisteady method compare well with the experimental results. The results presented in this thesis should find use in the design of the refrigerated warehouses in the colder regions of the world.
