A spatial dependent 3D model to predict the composition of the headspace of microperforated packages for respiring products

Abstract

The 3D coupled mass and momentum transfer computational model has adequately predicted the gas exchange through microperforations, considering the spatial-time dependence of the gas composition, and evidences the relevance of considering the diffusive flow and the concentration gradients around the microperforations in order to accurately quantify the gas exchange through them.
