Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

Sub-models required to implement the generalised simulation system are presented. There are based on heat transfer principles, but their derivation also involved application of heuristics derived by engineering judgement. Testing used two different products, eight package designs and data from four independent sources. Lack of fit between experiment and prediction was no larger than could be explained by likely data uncertainties so there is confidence that the simulation system will be accurate for a wide range of products and package design. The object-oriented design of the simulation package allows individual sub-models to be updated without affecting any other sub-model, thereby ensuring the simulation package can remain up-to-date.
