This paper presents a model for a wet air-cooled store based on computational fluid
dynamics. Unlike previous works on cold room modelling published in the literature, the …

Recently, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been frequently applied in many fields
relating to fluid flow, and it has been shown that CFD is useful in these fields. The cooling …

High product and air temperatures and moistures are often observed in certain positions of a
cold room leading to deterioration of food quality and safety. To reduce food losses, it is …

The objective of this study was to analyse air temperature and relative humidity distribution
in an experimental cold store fully loaded with apples by using both experimental and …

Chilled foods are increasingly popular on supermarket shelves. For marketing reasons,
chilled products are displayed in retail display cabinets where there is no physical barrier …

Storage loss beyond permissible limit is one of the most important problems in Indian potato
cold stores, which has been hindering further growth of this industry. The losses in the stored …

ABSTRACT A transient three‐dimensional computational fluid dynamics model was
developed to investigate the cooling performance of a partially loaded cold store in cooling …

The cooling characteristics and safety of food products inside the cold room depend on the
temperature field and govern by the airflow distribution. The nonuniform air distribution …

A transient three-dimensional CFD model was developed to calculate the velocity,
temperature and moisture distribution in an existing empty and loaded cool store. The …

A study of heat transfer and water vapour transport in a large industrial apple coolstore was
undertaken. A set of measurements was made including product cooling rates in both pre …
