Summary
This study aimed to develop and validate a model for simulating heat and mass transfer in wrapper type cold store from quasi-steady state to unsteady state operation, namely precooling period. The governing equations were solved numerically by the Runge-Kutta-Gill method. Mainly, initial air conditions and cooling capacity of the refrigeration system were used as model inputs. The model was validated experimentauy through cooling test.HomePageKeywords: wrapper type cold store, quasi-steady state unsteady state, heat and mass transfer, temperature, humidity
