ABSTRACT
There is a distance between transport phenomena modeling and application in the design of food or bioprocessing unit operations. The term transport phenomena fundamentals implies a more or less exact science. Usually, to a given problem, one solution exists. On the other hand, design of unit operations in which transport phenomena are involved is an inexact art, with usually many possible solutions to a given problem. The existence of many solutions is connected to the degree of freedom, F, in a given design problem: () F = V − R https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780203735107/d717aaaf-828a-4915-abf1-75d2dc1820ed/content/eq627.tif"/>
