Development of new effective Nusselt-Reynolds correlations for air-cooling of spherical and cylindrical products.

Author(s) : DINCER I.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Both experimental and theoretical investigations were conducted. The center temperatures of spherical and cylindrical products, namely figs, tomatoes, pears, cucumbers and grapes, during air-cooling at a temperature of 4 deg C and at different flow velocities were measured. In the theoretical case, the effective heat transfer coefficients for spherical and cylindrical products cooled were determined by using the Dincer's models presented in the paper.
