Abstract:

The understanding of the flow field inside the cold store is very important to food storage at low temperatures. Transport phenomena, comprising air flow, hit and mass transfer are key processes in refrigerated storage. Temperature homogeneity in most food refrigeration systems is directly governed by the airflow patterns in the system. Numerical modelling of airflow provides an opportunity to develop improved understanding of the underlying phenomena influencing system performance, which can lead to reduced temperature heterogeneity and increased effectiveness and efficiency of refrigeration systems. With the rapid advances in computational power of recent years, the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques in this application has become popular. This the application of CFD and other numerical modelling techniques to the prediction of airflow in refrigerated food applications including cool stores and reduce bad food ratio and reduce heat and mass transfer in food.
