Forced-convective cooling of citrus fruit: Cooling conditions and energy consumption in relation to package design
- T. Defraeye, R. Lambrecht, +5 authors B. Nicolai
- Engineering
- 2014
Abstract The performance of an existing container for orange fruit and two new designs, stacked on a pallet, has been evaluated for forced-convective precooling using computational fluid dynamics.… Expand
