Abstract:
The problems of the conventional heating using heat exchangers are fouling,
long heating time, and long cleaning time which reduces the processing capacity. The
in-tube microwave pasteurization is an alternative heating method that can solve this
problem. This research objective was to design the in-tube microwave pasteurizer. The
physical and dielectric properties of milk such as thermal conductivity, density,
apparent specific heat, dynamic viscosity and dielectric constant and loss factor were
determined. The flow rate of milk was 60 L/h, the initial temperature of milk was 30 degrees
and the final temperature was 80 degrees. The power input of 800 W and the type of mode
was TE10. The Reynolds number was 463 so the flow of fluid was laminar. Next, the
waveguide dimension of 44.45x88.9x200 mm was designed from the frequency of
microwave (2450 MHz). A Teflon tube of 0.5 inch diameter and length was 800 mm
was designed. A cavity of 77.3x109.3x154.6 mm was designed by using COMSOL
multiphysics program. The value of electric field is around 20,000 V/m and had a high
level at the center of the waveguide and the cavity. The fabrication of the system will
be connected to the conventional pasteurizer and the experimental study will be
conducted later to prove the simulation and proof of no fouling.
