Heating and Cooling of ‘Idared’ Apple with Respect to the Duration of the Hot Water Dip Heat Treatment

چکیده
A research was conducted on the eff ect of heat treatments on the heating and cooling of the ‘Idared’ apple fruit. Th e heat treatment was performed as hot water dip (HWD), where fruit were dipped into water at 50 °C, for two, four and six minutes (HWD 500C 2’, HWD 500C 4’ and HWD 500C 6’, respectively). Th e aim of the study was to determine the eff ect of heat treatments on the warming and cooling on the fruit which was observed by thermographic images recorded every minute for the duration of 12 minutes in total. Th e fruit treated with HWD 50°C 6’ achieved the highest temperature (50.6 0C), followed by HWD 500C 4’ (48.2 0C) and HWD 500C 2’ (44.3 0C). Th e damage to fruit caused by high temperatures (heat damage) was visible only on the fruit treated with HWD 50°C 6’. Th e diff erences in maximal temperature of fruit surface were statistically diff erent among all three exposures for the whole duration of recording, meaning that the duration of the hot water dip treatment signifi cantly aff ects the intensity of fruit cooling aft er heat treatment.

Diagnosis of Heat Exchanger Scales in Cooling Water Systems
An experimental database is compiled in order to fingerprint the scales formed over the hot surfaces of heat exchangers, in cooling water systems or other systems with similar chemistry. To collect these data, a dynamic simulating pilot plant was designed with considerable application flexibility among which simultaneous flow of water with different velocity and heat fluxes to three simulat...

This paper modeled heating air of a room through examining free convection in a 3D chamber. The chamber had cold and hot sources with Tc and Th temperatures, respectively. Its other walls were adiabatic. This study aimed at predicting effect of temperature difference, displacement of hot and cold sources and their aspect ratio on flow field, temperature and heat transfer rate. To conduct the st...
متن کاملIncreasing Cooling Towers Heat Capacity by Flue Gas Introduction
In this paper the changes in the heat capacity of cooling towers has been investigated as a result of injecting combustion products of boilers. In the tower, the air is re-heated through mixing with hot flue gas after passing through the heat exchangers. As a result of this process, the draft of the cooling tower is increased. The additional produced draft depends on the ambient temperature and...
