Authors:
- Presents a new look at the defrost process wherein surface wettability is explicitly included in the mathematical analysis
- Advances the modeling paradigm beyond strictly diffusion-controlled prior models
- Adds new data to the field from experiments on carefully prepared surface with quantified properties
- Corroborates the major findings of the analysis through visualization of melting
