Title: Poromechanics as a food process modeling framework
Speaker: Prof. Ashim K. Datta
Affiliation: Cornell University, NY
Abstract:
My 30+ year career has been devoted to developing a mechanistic framework for the modeling of the evolution of product, quality and safety during food processing that can effectively handle a large number of practical situations and be easily implementable in a software for widespread use of computer-aided food process engineering. This framework consists of multicomponent, multiphase transport in food as a deformable/swellable porous medium with reaction-diffusion based models of food quality (color, texture). Food being a complex material, there are serious issues in estimating the porous material properties and how they change during processing, coupling of various physics, and relating to variables of practical interest that are little in common with other materials processing. I will share what we have learnt in building the poromechanics framework, including the current gaps in knowledge.
