在世界各地，越来越多的融雪或釉面冰预防装置使用嵌入路面的加热装置。尽管与除雪除冰的化学和机械方法相比，这种方法具有明显的优势，但由于安装和运行成本较高，它只能应用于最关键的区域。降低安装和运行成本的一种方法是通过更好的系统设计，这反过来又需要对系统的传热特性有透彻的了解。 Schnurr和Rogers开发了一个稳态情况的二维模型，并研究了加热器间距、风速和降雪率对系统性能的影响。威廉姆森试图对该问题进行瞬态分析，但假设路面上存在一维模型和恒定热流。本文将用更一般的边界条件对二维模型进行瞬态分析，本质上是对参考文献1和2所述工作的扩展。 由于该问题涉及大量变量，本文中的一般分析是禁止性的，仅给出该模型的应用示例。参考文献4中提供了更完整的信息，包括传热率数据。引文:巴哈马拿骚ASHRAE Transactions第78卷第2部分

Throughout the world, there are an increasing number of snow melting or glaze-ice preventing installations using heating units embedded in the pavement. In spite of the obvious advantage of this method compared to chemical and mechanical methods of snow and ice removal, high installation and operating costs have held its application to only the most critical areas. One method for reducing both installation and operating costs is through a better design of the system, which in turn requires a thorough knowledge of the heat transfer characteristics of the system. Schnurr and Rogers developed a two-dimensional model for the steady state situation and studied the effect of heater spacing, wind velocity, and snowfall rate on the performance of his system. Williamson attempted a transient analysis of the problem but assumed a one-dimensional model and constant heat flux on the pavement surface. The present paper will present a transient analysis of the two-dimensional model with more general boundary conditions and is, in essence, an extension of the work presented in both Refs 1 and 2. Due to the large number of variables involved in the problem, a general analysis, in this paper, is prohibitive and only an example of the application of the model will be presented. A great deal more complete information may be found in Ref 4, including data on heat transfer rates.
