Homogenized thermal conduction model for particulate foods.

Author(s) : CHINESTA F., TORRES R., RAMON A., et al.

Type of article: Article

Summary

This paper deals with the definition of an equivalent thermal conductivity for particulate foods. An homogenized thermal model is used to assess the effect of particulate spatial distribution and differences in thermal conductivities. The authors demonstrated that the spatial average of the conductivity can be used in an homogenized heat transfer model if the conductivity differences among the food components are not very large. A standard spatial homogenization procedure is proposed by the authors.
