Numerical and perturbations methods for predicting freezing times.

Summary

The freezing processes for foods of plate, spherical and cylindrical shapes under heat convective boundary conditions was solved by using four finite-difference schemes for temperature-dependent properties. A perturbation method was used to model the liquid-solid phase change of the water content in the food. Analytical predictions were successfully compared with experimental data for freezing of three different foods.
