Mean convective heat transfer coefficient of beef carcases computed by a computational fluid dynamic model.

Author(s) : PHAM Q. T., NGUYEN A. V.

Summary

Recently, CFD (computational fluid dynamics) models have been employed to simulate the heat and mass transfer processes as 3D problems. The available CFD models are capable of handling and complex and irregular shapes of beef carcasses and of providing simultaneous solution to the coupled processes of the heat transfer by the convection outside and the conduction inside the beef carcasses. The paper aims to present some results of the 3D simulation of beef chilling, carried out with the CFD package Fluent. Different available turbulent models will be investigated.
