Computational Modeling of Heat and Mass Transfer during Convection Cooking of Chicken Patties

Article Preview

Abstract:

A 2-D axisymmetric mathematical model base on Fourier’s equation and Fick’s law was developed to simulate coupled heat and mass transfer during convection cooking of chicken patties. The food physical properties were functions of local values of temperature and moisture content. The model equations has been solved by a commercial FEM package, called COMSOL Multiphysics. Transient temperature and moisture distributions inside the product were predicted, and a comparison between the theoretical predictions and experimental results reported in the literature has shown a good agreement. The developed model can be used to predict the cooking process.
