Description : Computational methods have risen as a powerful technique for exploring the system phenomena and solving real-life problems. Currently, there are two principle computational approaches for system analysis: continuous and discrete. In the continuous approach, the governing equations can be obtained by applying the fundamental laws, such as conservation of mass, momentum, and energy over an infinitesimal control volume. On the other hand, the discrete approach concentrates on mimicking the molecular movement within the system. Both approaches have pros and cons, and continuous development and improvement in the existing computational methods are ongoing. Advanced Computational Techniques for Heat and Mass Transfer in Food Processing provides, in a single source, information on the use of methods based on numerical and computational analysis as applied in food science and technology. It explores the use of various numerical/computational techniques for the simulation of fluid flow and heat and mass transfer within food products.
