Abstract

The thickness of the desublimatd solid layer is an important parameter required for
evaluation of such desublimation process, especially in the case of solid layers production
needed for special applications. A mathematical model has been derived based on the
analogy of heat and mass transfer to calculate the solid layer thickness of the desublimated
layer during the operation period. The prediction of thickness from the derived model is
based on the data related to the applied experimental conditions as well as the physical
properties of the vapour-gas mixture inside desublimator. The calculated thickness from the
model has been used to calculate the temperature gradient of the solid layer surface during
the run period.
