5、ing recipes involving particles.The heat transfer challenge The primary topic we treat here is the issue of heat treatment of foods that contain particles processed in a continuous system.This is complex and makes it difficult to calculate and design the heat treatment system.New research findings f

6、rom Tetra Pak clearly demonstrate how particles affect different heat transfer processes in a heat treatment system sometimes going against commonly accepted beliefs.Findings from extensive experiments run by our expert group have revealed that it is now possible,from a thermal point of view,to calc
