Heat transfer analyses using computational fluid dynamics in the air blast freezing of guava pulp in large containers

Heat transfer during the freezing of guava pulp conditioned in large containers such as in stacked boxes (34 L) and buckets (20 L) and unstacked drums (200 L) is discussed. The air velocities across the cross-section of the tunnel were measured, and the values in the outlet of the evaporator were us...
