The main emphasis of this review is on thermal modelling and prediction of laser welding in
metals. However as similar techniques are employed to model conventional welding …

This paper reviews mathematical methods for modelling heat and mass transfer during the
freezing, thawing and frozen storage of foods. It starts by considering the problems in …

Frozen foods make up one of the biggest sectors in the food industry. Their popularity with
consumers is due primarily to the variety they offer and their ability to retain a high standard …

Freezing is a well-established preservation method used to maintain the freshness of
perishable food products during storage, transportation and retail distribution; however, food …

Freezing time and freezing heat load are the two most important factors determining the
economics of food freezers. This Brief will review and describe the principal methods …

In this article we have used four different global optimisation algorithms for interval finite
element analysis of (non) linear heat conduction problems:(i) sequential quadratic …

The cuticle of apple basically consists of a cutin and wax layer in parallel each with different
diffusion properties. Diffusion coefficients were determined for the apple cultivars …

An increasing interest in the exploitation of new Patagonian marine crabs was manifested by
the industry, due to their commercial value as frozen products. In the present work the …

In this paper we present a Lattice Boltzmann model for food freezing, using the enthalpy
method. Simulations are performed using the case study of freezing par-fried french fries …

Heat transfer continues to be a major field of interest to engineering and scientific
researchers, as well as designers, developers, and manufacturers. Considerable effort has …
