Summary

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was developed to model heat transfer of six blocks of agar in a forced air chilling process. The flow field was solved at steady-state and decoupled from the heat transfer processes. The six blocks of agar were placed in a polystyrene test chamber that mimics the airflow and product arrangement in an industrial cheese chilling tunnel. Temperatures were measured at the surfaces and the geometric centre of the tested blocks of agar. Good agreement was observed between predicted and experimental data. The local heat transfer coefficient across blocks of agar surface varied by a factor of five at the high air velocity.
