Journal articles Open Access Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based analysis of the aerodynamic and thermodynamic performances of package designs during cooling of stacked pomegranates A. Ambaw · M. Mukama · Linus Opara Umezuruike The demand for pomegranate fruit is increasing due to the extensive knowledge acquired on the health benefits of pomegranate and the increased public awareness about functional food. Following this, there has been an increased interest in … RUF-38303 2018 CC BY 4.0 10 Jun 2020
Journal articles Open Access Analysing the dynamics of quality loss during precooling and ambient storage of pomegranate fruit A. Ambaw · T. M. Berry · M. Mukama · Linus Opara Umezuruike In this paper the spatiotemporal profile of quality loss of pomegranate fruit (cv. Wonderful) was investigated during precooling and simulated shelf conditions. The effects of relative humidity (RH) inside the cold room, polyliner inside the… RUF-38296 2019 CC BY 4.0 31 May 2020
Journal articles Open Access Analysis of the effects of package design on the rate and uniformity of cooling of stacked pomegranates: Numerical and experimental studies A. Ambaw · M. Mukama · Linus Opara Umezuruike Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed, validated and used to analyse cooling char- acteristics of two different package designs (CT1 and CT2) used for postharvest handling of pomegranate fruit. The model incorporated geomet… RUF-38294 2017 CC BY 4.0 31 May 2020
