TRANSIENT HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER FOR ORANGES IN CLOSED CONTAINERS.

Summary

EXPERIMENTS WERE CONDUCTED TO STUDY THE TEMPERATURE RESPONSES OF ORANGES IN A CLOSED CONTAINER DURING CONDUCTION COOLING. TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF NATURAL CONVECTION OF THE AIR IN THE VOID SPACES INSIDE THE CARTON, SEVERAL EXPERIMENTS WERE CONDUCTED WITH THE COOLING SOURCE APPLIED TO THE BOTTOM, THE TOP, OR THE SIDE OF THE CONTAINER. NATURAL CONVECTION HAS A VERY SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON THE COOLING RATE. THIS WAS FASTEST WHEN THE COOLING SOURCE WAS AT THE TOP AND SLOWEST WHEN THE COOLING SOURCE WAS AT THE BOTTOM. A MODEL TO SIMULATE CONDUCTION COOLING WAS DEVELOPED.
