Mathematical Modeling of Heat and Mass Transfer during Moisture–Heat Treatment of Castor Beans to Improve the Quality of Vegetable Oil

An important process in the technology of plant oil production by mechanical pressing is wet–heat treatment crushed oilseeds, which oilseed (compressed seed) exposed to saturated vapor and a conductive heat supply. Optimal mode selection based on detailed study physical processes taking place compressed seed increases release, improves its quality indicators, decreases energy consumption. Mathematical modeling an advanced method for studying dynamics humidification frying seed. The article introduces mathematical model numerical calculating heat-and-mass transformation phase conversion seeds castor continuous multi-stage heating kettle. This provides equations intensity inner outer surfaces wet layer. Data verification indicates adequacy model, effectiveness method, possibility their use optimizing modes raw material.
