Course description
In order to understand and control processing operations in food manufacture, phenomena occurred in food manufacturing equipment such as flux of food, balance and transfer for both mass and heat should be comprehended in a quantitative way. This class will learn balance of mass and heat, basic theory of transfer phenomena ( ex. flow, heat transfer, diffusion), kinetics of chemical reaction and sterilization in foods, and fundamental of food refrigeration.
Expected Learning
General goal of this class is to understand the principle of continuous thermal sterilization process for liquid foods such as milk. To achieve this, followings should be cleared.
1) To calculate the balance of mass and heat in food manufacturing process
2) To understand various forces acting on food and explain flow of running fluids in a circular pipe
3) To understand three heat transfer modes and explain temperature change of solid or liquid foods when they are heated.
4) To understand the kinetics of sterilization and calculate simple sterilization problem
5) To understand the fundamentals of food refrigeration

Message from instructor(s)
The contents of this class is important and fudamental for not only food manufacturing process but also chemical and biological productions. To promote better understanding we will try including practice for solving basic problems as best as we can. We hope reviewing the class by utilizing assignments for many times will assist your understanding. This class requires the mathematical knowledge of high school level.
