Modeling work furnace recirculating heating gases for tunnel baking ovens

Modeling of Susceptor Assisted Microwave Heating in Domestic Ovens

Susceptors are used in microwavable food packages to facilitate preferential heating. Modeling of susceptor assisted microwave heating in domestic ovens was performed using radio frequency and heat transfer modules of COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2. Two different approaches (domain discretization and transient boundary condition) were studied for taking into the account of discretizing thin susceptor ...

Heating Performance Assessment of Domestic Microwave Ovens

Due to inherent nature of standing wave patterns of microwaves inside a cavity and dielectric properties of different components in a food, microwave heating leaves non-uniform distribution of energy inside the food volumetrically. Achieving heating uniformity plays critical role in improving the safety of microwave heated products. In this paper, we present a method for assessing heating unifo...

A Wireless Portable High Temperature Data Monitor for Tunnel Ovens

Tunnel ovens are widely used in the food industry to produce biscuits and pastries. In order to obtain a high quality product, it is very important to control the heat transferred to each piece of dough during baking. This paper proposes an innovative, non-distorting, low cost wireless temperature measurement system, called "eBiscuit", which, due to its size, format and location in the metal ra...
