Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of litchi thawing, and particularly to a method for modeling a prediction model for efficient litchi thawing. Background Art
[0002] Litchi, as a characteristic fruit in the Lingnan region of China, has high edible value and economic value. However, litchi ripens in high-temperature seasons, and its physiological state is active after harvesting, making it prone to spoilage. Therefore, freezing technology has gradually become an effective method for long-term preservation in the litchi industry. Frozen litchi needs to be thawed before consumption, and the sensory quality of the final product is affected by the freezing and thawing processes. Physical and chemical changes such as fiber structure, protein oxidation, and juice loss often occur during the thawing process.
[0003] Mathematical modeling, as an efficient tool, has shown significant advantages in exploring the dynamic changes of crop parameters. Its characteristics of low cost and fast calculation make it have great application potential in the field of agricultural scientific research. Especially when simulating the thawing process of frozen litchi under static air conditions, mathematical modeling can reveal the distribution of the temperature field, opening up a new path for optimizing the setting of environmental temperature. Some scholars, such as Guo Jiaming, Wang Xudong, etc., have used numerical simulation technology to deeply explore the fields of food freezing and thawing. They accurately measured the thermal physical properties of litchi and successfully constructed a litchi freezing model, which can accurately predict the temperature changes during the freezing process, providing solid data support for further exploring the litchi cracking mechanism. In addition, Uyar, Pitchai, etc. have also successfully predicted the temperature curves of lean beef and mashed potatoes changing with time by constructing a three-dimensional microwave thawing model coupling heat and electromagnetic fields. However, it is worth noting that the current numerical simulation research on litchi thawing is still blank. At the same time, when constructing models for some anisotropic products, the use of idealized assumptions and approximate parameters may lead to errors, which need to be improved and optimized in future research.
[0004] In this context, the litchi model constructed based on the principles of heat and mass transfer can accurately realize the numerical simulation of multi-dimensional parameters such as food structural characteristics, sensory attributes and nutrients. Considering that litchi is a composite heat transfer material with unique anisotropic thermal conductivity, the laser heating transient analysis technology was first used to accurately measure the thermal conductivity of the litchi composite structure, thereby significantly reducing the influence of the idealization of model heat transfer on the numerical simulation results. Subsequently, a more accurate litchi thawing model was constructed based on the thermal conductivity data obtained by the inversion identification model. However, considering the inherent deviation between the model assumptions and the actual situation, the accuracy of the current simulation results still has room for further improvement. In order to meet this challenge, an optimized litchi thawing model construction method was proposed. This method cleverly combines computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology with particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. By dynamically adjusting and optimizing model parameters, the gap between numerical simulation results and experimental results is effectively narrowed, and a high-precision prediction of the litchi thawing process is achieved. Summary of the invention
[0005] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a modeling method for a temperature prediction model for efficient litchi thawing.

[0031] Step 35: Take the measured temperature rise values and the initial values of the thermal conductivities of different parts of the litchi as inputs, generate the thermal conductivities through the particle swarm optimization algorithm, substitute the thermal conductivities generated by the particle swarm optimization algorithm into formula (5), perform numerical simulation of the transient heat transfer process, and respectively obtain the simulated temperature rise values on the surfaces of the litchi shell, pulp and litchi seed, denoted as {ΔT sim,i};
[0032] Step 36: Construct an optimization objective function, and the formula is as follows:
[0033]
[0034] J is the target value output by formula (8);
[0035] Step 37: Substitute {ΔT exp,i} obtained in Step 34 and {ΔT sim,i} obtained in Step 35 into formula (8) to obtain J;
[0036] Step 38: When J is greater than or equal to the predetermined value, return to Step 35 to continue the iteration until J is less than the predetermined value. Each time Step 35 is iterated, take the measured temperature rise value at the corresponding time and the thermal conductivity obtained in the previous time as the inputs of the particle swarm optimization algorithm; when J is less than the predetermined value, take the thermal conductivity generated by the particle swarm optimization algorithm at this time as the thermal conductivities K j , j = 1, 2, 3, K 1 , K 2 , K 3 respectively represent the thermal conductivities of the litchi shell, pulp and litchi seed.
[0037] Preferably, the specific steps of the fourth step are as follows:
[0038] Step 41: Idealize the litchi model as a spherical model, and express the specific heat capacity of the litchi model during the thawing process by the following formula:

[0051] Assume that the litchi is spherical with a radius of r. The heat conduction equation is converted into the spherical coordinate form, and the formula is as follows:
[0052]
[0053] Step 45: Since natural convective heat transfer occurs between the litchi and the air in the thawing environment, the total heat exchange quantity Q between the litchi surface and the thawing environment per unit time is calculated by the following formula:
[0054] Q = h·A·((T enveronment -T surface ) = q conv ·A (15),
[0055] where h is the convective heat transfer coefficient; A is the surface area of the litchi; T surface is the litchi surface temperature; T enveronment is the thawing environment temperature, and q conv is the heat flux density;
[0056] Step 46: The heat absorbed by the litchi surface will be transferred to the inside of the litchi through the heat conduction process. The heat flux density is related to the normal temperature gradient of the litchi, and the formula between the two is:
[0057]
[0058] where K lichi is the thermal conductivity, is the temperature gradient in the normal direction of the litchi surface, indicating the change rate of temperature in the normal direction per unit time;
[0059] Step 47: Combining formula (13), formula (14), formula (15) and formula (16) gives the following formula:
[0060]
[0061] Step 48: Rearrange formula (17) and solve it by integration to obtain the following formula:
[0062]
[0063] where T(t) is the temperature at the center of the litchi at time t, T center,0 is the initial temperature at the center of the litchi, and T enveronment (t) is the thawing environment temperature.
[0064] Preferably, in step five, if the error between the temperature curve predicted by the litchi thawing model and the actual temperature curve exceeds a predetermined value, the global optimal solution is obtained based on the first formula and the second formula in the particle swarm optimization algorithm, and the corresponding weight loss function is optimized based on the global optimal solution:

[0117] Step 57: Substitute {ΔT exp,i} obtained in Step 54 and (ΔT sim,i} obtained in Step 55 into Equation (10) to obtain J;
[0118] Step 58: When J is greater than or equal to the predetermined value, return to Step 55 to continue the iteration until J is less than the predetermined value. Each time Step 55 is iterated, use the measured temperature rise value at the corresponding moment and the thermal conductivities λ x and λ y obtained in the previous time as the inputs of the particle swarm optimization algorithm; when J is less than the predetermined value, use the thermal conductivity generated by the particle swarm optimization algorithm at this time as the thermal conductivities K j of the litchi shell, pulp, and litchi core, where j = 1, 2, 3, and K 1 、K 2 、K 3 represent the thermal conductivities of the litchi shell, pulp, and litchi core respectively.
[0119] Among them,
