Abstract
A finite difference scheme model which performs both atmospheric and h igh pressure thawing simulation is presented. The comparison between n umerical simulation and experimental data shows a good level of agreem ent. This model has been used to predict the performance of the thawin g process under a wide range of operation conditions. It clearly shows that high pressure thawing reduces the thawing time.
