Simulation of transient heat transfer during forced convection cooling of cocoyam (Colocasia Esculenta (L.) Schott) tubers

In this study, a prediction model based on transient heat transfer was modified and validated using experimental data. The time required to cool tubers from field temperature of 30 ± 2 °C to the target storage temperature of 12 ± 0.2 °C was predicted directly from the model. Moreover, total cooling...
