Modeling and simulation of forced-air cooling of strawberries using variable convective coefficient Modelagem e simulação do resfriamento de morangos com ar forçado usando coeficiente convectivo variável

In the forced-air cooling process of fruits occurs, besides the convective heat transfer, the mass transfer by evaporation. The energy need in the evaporation is taken from fruit that has its temperature lowered. In this study it has been proposed the use of empirical correlations for calculating th...
