Abstract:ABSTRACT. The space and time discretization of the finite element method was optimized for following application in multicomponent diffusion simulation during Prato cheese salting, a traditional and much consumed foodstuff in Brazil originated from the European Gouda cheese. It was ascertained that the correct choice of the time intervals and mesh is fundamental in applying the method. After optimization the simulated results were in agreement with the experimental and calculated results by the analytical meth… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
