Summary

This study presents a 3-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to predict the temperature profile of bulk-packed whole chickens during forced-air freezing based on 3D computed tomography images of the chicken. The model was validated against experimental cooling data. By using the temperature-dependent thermal properties of chicken meat, the mean differences between the predicted average drumstick temperatures with corresponding experimental results were less than 1.3 °C for all tested conditions. The model may be used to optimise the design of the freezing tunnel for chicken products.
