Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of litchi thawing, and in particular to a modeling method of a prediction model for efficient litchi thawing. Background Art
[0002] Lychees, a specialty fruit from my country's Lingnan region, possess high edible and economic value. However, lychees mature during hot weather and are physiologically active after harvest, making them susceptible to spoilage. Therefore, freezing technology has gradually become an effective method for long-term preservation in the lychee industry. Frozen lychees need to be thawed before consumption, and the sensory quality of the final product is affected by the freezing and thawing process. The thawing process is often accompanied by physical and chemical changes such as fiber structure, protein oxidation, and juice loss.
[0003] Mathematical modeling, as an efficient tool, demonstrates significant advantages in exploring the dynamic changes in crop parameters. Its low cost and rapid computational speed give it enormous potential for application in agricultural research. In particular, when simulating the thawing process of frozen lychees in air, mathematical modeling can reveal the distribution of temperature fields, opening up new avenues for optimizing ambient temperature settings. Researchers such as Guo Jiaming and Wang Xudong have utilized numerical simulation techniques to further explore the field of food freezing and thawing. By precisely measuring the thermophysical properties of lychees, they successfully constructed a lychee freezing model that accurately predicts temperature changes during freezing, providing solid data support for further research into the mechanism of lychee cracking. Furthermore, Uyar, Pitchai, and others successfully predicted the time-dependent temperature profiles of lean beef and mashed potatoes by constructing a three-dimensional microwave thawing model that coupled heat and electromagnetic fields. However, it is worth noting that there is currently no research on numerical simulation of lychee thawing. Furthermore, when constructing models for some anisotropic products, idealized assumptions and the use of approximate parameters can lead to errors, which requires further research and optimization.
[0004] In this context, a litchi model based on heat and mass transfer principles can accurately simulate multidimensional parameters such as food structural properties, sensory attributes, and nutrients. Given that litchi, as a composite heat transfer material, exhibits unique anisotropic thermal conductivity, a laser heating transient analysis technique was first used to accurately measure the thermal conductivity of the litchi composite structure, significantly reducing the impact of the model's heat transfer idealization on the numerical simulation results. Subsequently, a more accurate litchi thawing model was constructed based on the thermal conductivity data obtained through an inverse identification model. However, given the potential inherent discrepancies between model assumptions and actual conditions, the accuracy of current simulation results remains to be improved. To address this challenge, an optimized litchi thawing model construction method was proposed. This method cleverly combines computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology with a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. By dynamically adjusting and optimizing model parameters, it effectively narrows the gap between numerical simulation and experimental results, achieving highly accurate predictions of the litchi thawing process.

[0031] Step 35: The measured temperature rise value and the initial value of the thermal conductivity of different parts of the litchi are used as input to generate the thermal conductivity through the particle swarm optimization algorithm. The thermal conductivity generated by the particle swarm optimization algorithm is substituted into formula (5) to perform a transient heat transfer numerical simulation to obtain the simulated values of the surface temperature rise of the litchi shell, the flesh and the litchi core, respectively, which are recorded as {ΔT sim,i};
[0032] Step 36: Construct the optimization objective function. The formula is as follows:
[0033]
[0034] J is the target value output by formula (8);
[0035] Step 37: The {ΔT exp,i} and {ΔT obtained in step 35 sim,i Substitute into formula (8) to obtain J;
[0036] Step 38: When J is greater than or equal to the predetermined value, return to step 35 and continue iterating until J is less than the predetermined value. Each time step 35 is iterated, the measured temperature rise value at the corresponding moment and the thermal conductivity obtained last time are used as the input of the particle swarm optimization algorithm; when J is less than the predetermined value, the thermal conductivity generated by the particle swarm optimization algorithm at this time is used as the thermal conductivity K of the litchi shell, pulp and litchi core. j , j = 1, 2, 3, K1, K2, K3 represent the thermal conductivity of litchi shell, pulp and litchi core respectively.

The formula is as follows;

[0052] Assuming that the litchi is spherical with a radius of r, the heat conduction equation is converted into spherical coordinate form, the formula is as follows:
[0053]
[0054] Step 45: Due to natural convection heat transfer between the litchi and the air in the thawing environment, the total heat exchange Q between the litchi surface and the thawing environment per unit time is calculated using the following formula:
