While the heat transfer within conduction heated foods is governed by the external convection, the agitation processes are applied for liquid and particle - liquid containing canned products. End-overend rotation, horizontal rotation and reciprocal agitation are the common agitation processes. A significant part of the canned foods is produced in continuous rotary systems, and rotation rate has a significant effect of the temperature evolution and uniformity. In addition, viscosity is the most important physical property on the heat transfer rate. Therefore, in this study, a computational approach was developed to demonstrate the effect of the viscosity and horizontal rotation rates on the heat transfer during processing of particulate canned food products.
