“…The searching for sterilization processes of canned food models attracted many scientists and researchers of the late twentieth century [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. One of the most famous researchers in this field is Giulio R. Banga, who proposed methods for improving food processing using modern optimization methods [13].…”

The article describes an autoclave thermal processes model, which is used for the simulator of canned food sterilization process. The simulator is based on a simulation model that adequately describes the reaction of the autoclave to the actions of the control system and the operator of the sterilization unit. The model’s parameters were obtained by means of experimental data processing. The computer program ”autoclave Model” for simulating sterilization process in the steam and water environment is described. The examples of the canned food’s manual control sterilization modeling are shown. The results of numerical mathematical modeling of canned food sterilization processes in the autoclave showed a high degree of the implemented process models quality of approximation. The calculation schemes done as a result of the mathematical models creation were used to develop a hardwaresoftware complex of the sterilization process simulator. The increase of training level on carrying out process of canned goods sterilization will be provided as a result of designing the simulator of sterilization process in educational process. Consequently reducing defects in production and improving the quality of canned products are expected.

Focusing on the phenomenon of the crack on the autoclave flange, a three-dimensional model of the autoclave was established based on the Ansys Workbench platform. A new finite element analysis flow for optimizing the design of autoclave teeth was established using the Fluent, Static Structure, and Direct Optimization modules. The paper analyzed and discussed the maximum stress and minimum fatigue life at the corresponding position. The variation trend of stress and fatigue life at the corresponding position after fillet optimization was also discussed. The results showed that the equivalent stress of autoclave teeth without fillet optimization reached the maximum under different fillet sizes. The equivalent stress and fatigue life of the autoclave tooth were the same as the rounded corner size obtained by the optimization design. The optimal global solution could be obtained through the optimization design process.

The basic principle of steam sterilization is based on high heat transfer rates from the steam to the medical device. In order to carry out this process as well as possible, the walls of the pressure chamber must be preheated. One way is to heat it with steam from the inside. To investigate this process, a three‐phase CFD model was developed, which can be used to determine the saturation temperature as a function of the partial pressure using a user‐defined function. For validation, the pressure, temperature (fluid and solid) and condensate content were measured. Results show that the model is excellently suited for predicting all relevant variables.
