Mohd Tarmizan, Ibrahim HD Industries. Land use. Labor HD28 Management. Industrial Management Throughout the food industry, packaging development and optimum packaging design for transporting perishable food goods and storing fresh produce can be challenging and tedious tasks. It is crucial to maintain a specific temperature and airflow within the packaging system of the perishable food product during storage or transportation to avoid quality degradation. Preparation of packaging design test requires much complex work from the initial concept, physical prototype, and testing process and until final packaging solution to meet the required conditions. Nowadays, with the help of simulation tools such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, weeks or months of physical testing can be replaced by hours or even minutes of a simulation run. This study will showcase a simulation work related to the food packaging design solution using open source CFD software, OpenFOAM. For this case, the airflow and thermal analysis for the ventilated packaging container for fresh fruits is investigated. This work aims to present a CFD model to predict airflow and temperature distribution profiles in ventilated packaging systems within the packaging container of fresh fruits. The simulation runs are performed under different air inlet flow and different ventilation diameter holes. Based on the preliminary result, the airflow distribution within the packaging box develops an uneven temperature profile. The simulation approach will help us consider the optimal ventilation configuration for proper ventilation efficiency by changing the ventilation position or modifying the ventilation hole design. 2021 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed text en http://eprints.unisza.edu.my/4192/1/FH03-FBIM-21-56549.pdf text en http://eprints.unisza.edu.my/4192/2/FH03-FBIM-21-56550.pdf Mohd Tarmizan, Ibrahim (2021) Airflow and thermal analysis of fresh produce packaging system using open-source computational fluid dynamics tool.
