New effective Nusselt-Reynolds correlations for food-cooling applications.

Author(s) : DINCER I.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The paper presents new correlations between the Nusselt and Reynolds numbers for food products being subjected to water and/or air cooling applications. In the theoretical part, tha author assumes that the problem of cooling a cylindrical or spherical product can be reduced to 1-D heat conduction in the radial direction, subject to convective cooling at the surface. By developing new models for this problem, and the experimentally measured temperatures at the centers of the products, the convective heat-transfer coefficients were obtained as an inverse problem.
