Abstract
, it was observed that even though the freezing dynamic was not sensitive to this parameter in the first half of the process, the effect was more pronounced throughout the second half. Furthermore, with identical heat transfer areas, horizontal fins outperformed the vertical ones by a marginal difference of 3.58 %, which was found to be because of the better distribution of fins within the container.
