Summary

PLANK'S MODEL WAS USED TO PREDICT THE FREEZING TIME FOR LEAN BEEF WITH THE TEMPERATURE FIXED AT 252 K (-21 DEG C) IN ALL SITUATIONS. THE ESTIMATES SHOWED THAT MAINTAINING A BALANCE BETWEEN THE PRODUCT SIZE, CONVECTIVE COEFFICIENT AND THE THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE PACKAGE, IT WAS POSSIBLE TO OPTIMIZE THE FREEZING TIME. THIS MAY IMPROVE THE PRODUCT QUALITY OR LEAD TO A REDUCTION IN THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION.
