Modelling and Simulation of an Ohmic Heating Process

Ohmic Heating (OH) is one of the emerging thermal technologies used in food processing which can produce rapid and uniform heating with close to 100% energy transfer efficiency. Although mathematical modelling for OH processes has been studied by many researchers recent years, systematic simulations have not developed model-based control processes. In this paper, model a Colinear Heater presented, analyzed, based on selected configuration. A numerical solution equations defined proposed. MATLAB/Simulink hence validated against available data. Simulation results shown that robust outputs at low computational costs an accuracy up 99.6% comparison analytical solution. This be further studies analysis development advanced controllers.
