Abstract |
|
When fruits and vegetables are harvested, they are cutoff from their source of water and soon start to deteriorate, the purpose of this study is to perform simulation of airflow in Apple cold storage using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. The air distribution parameters addressed in this study are air velocity and air temperature. The best results from a proper preservation are obtain when the temperature of each vegetables is maintained with fewer fluctuations, as well as the appropriate distribution of cooling air. Temperature variation is minimized with adequate air circulation. Air velocity is important to protect agricultural product in the cold storage. |
