The interface frost layer on the glass packing of cryogenic bed is assumed as germ nuclei. The bed porosity is considered time dependent. The expression for time varying bed porosity is derived based on Avrami model. The experimentation was conducted to validate the model and the resulting simulation studies show good resemblance with experimental results. © 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. %Z cited By 4; Conference of 3rd International Conference on Process Engineering and Advanced Materials, ICPEAM 2014 ; Conference Date: 3 June 2014 Through 5 June 2014; Conference Code:114811
