Thermodynamic evaluation of heat transfer heterogeneity: Comparative case studies on air cooling methods for postharvest apples

The heat transfer during air cooling of postharvest produce tends to be heterogeneous using either room cooling or forced-air cooling due to airflow maldistribution. The heterogeneity is typically evaluated in terms of temperature. In this study, the thermodynamic indicators, including the rates and...
