Summary

A LONGITUDINAL DISPERSION MODEL IS PROPOSED FOR ANALYZING THE MOVEMENT OF PEAS ALONG CONTINUOUS FLUIDIZED BED FREEZERS. BY COMPARING WITH EXPERIMENTAL DATA, A DISPERSION COEFFICIENT IS OBTAINED WHICH CORRELATES WITH THE BED HEIGHT AND THE SUPERFICIAL AIR VELOCITY. THUS, MINIMUM RESIDENCE TIMES CAN BE PREDICTED IN TERMS OF BED DIMENSIONS AND OPERATING CONDITIONS IN THE FLUIDIZED FREEZER. AN OPTIMUM BED HEIGHT WHICH MAXIMIZES THE PRODUCTION RATE PER UNIT OF GRID AREA CAN BE OBTAINED.
