| Abstract: | Analytical models were proposed to estimate the dimensionless temperature distributions of spherically and cylindrically shaped objects during cooling. In order to test the analytical model, an experimental investigation was carried out to measure temperatures at the centre, half radius and surface positions of the spherical and cylindrical products (pears and eggplants) subjected to hydrocooling. The measured temperature distributions were compared with the computed temperature distributions and very good agreement was observed. |
