Résumé :
|
The freezing of food is one of the most significant applications of refrigeration. In order for freezing operations to be cost-effective, it is necessary, to optimally design the refrigeration equipment. This requires estimation of the freezing times of foods. Part I quantitatively assessed selected semi-analytical/empirical food freezing time prediction methods that apply, to regularly shaped food items. Part II covers techniques that apply to irregularly shaped food items. The performance of these various methods is quantitatively evaluated by comparing their numerical results to a comprehensive experimental freezing time data set compiled from the literature.
