Abstract
The temperature profile for an N-component mixture of particles in a f luid flowing through a heated tube has been evaluated using a numerica l method for the fluid and an analytical solution for the particles. T he results for the time-at-temperature of the particles depend on the drift-flux parameters, which quantify the local slip. In particular, t he more slip the better the heat transfer and the shorter the heat exc hanger required for aseptic food processing. Two diagrams are given, w hich cover all parameters of interest for laminar flow.
