The turbulence model used is the k-ω Shear Stress Transport (SST) with the standard wall function, the air. The numerical results obtained show that cooling rate is not uniform inside the room; the product at the medium of room has a slower cooling rate. This cooling heterogeneity has a large effect on the energy consumption during cold storage. }, journal = {International Journal of Nutrition and Food Engineering}, volume = {12}, number = {10}, year = {2018}, pages = {349 - 353}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10009627}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/142}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 142, 2018}, }
