Simulation haft porks freezing by using Ansys

Abstract

This article presents the results of half- pork freezing time by CFD. Freezing pork is the process of heat conduction with phase change including heat and mass transfer occur simultaneously. At the freezing point, the physical thermal properties of the product change dramatically. Using ANSYS software to simulate the process, determine the time when the center of products reach -18 ^oC. Error of simulating and experimental freezing time are 4%. Based on simulation results assessing the effects of temperature and airflow velocity on freezing time, the data can be used to optimize operating conditions and the design of pork freezer storage.
