Air
blast freezers are used to freeze food after packaging. As part of their
design it is important to predict the pressure drop and heat transfer. CFD
will be used to develop a reduced order model that can be used for initial
design of plant.
Undergraduate
A reduced order model of pressure losses and heat transfer in a generic air blast freezer. Analysis of localised pressure drop by entropy generation. Possible validation against an experimental model.
