Numerical validation of Eq. 2, where an enhancement in heat flux occurs as a result of an eccentric position e of the vial in the snapfreezer.
| Eccentricity e [m] | 0 | 1 × 10−4 | 2 × 10−4 | 3 × 10−4 | 3.9 × 10−4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q(e)/Q(0) | 1 | 1.03 | 1.15 | 1.51 | 4.31 |
| Equation 2 | 1 | 1.03 | 1.16 | 1.51 | 4.45 |
Though one side of the vial is moving away from the side wall with increasing e the opposite side gets closer, leading to an increase in total heat flux.
