RESUMO

The non linearity of the equations of the model and the quality of the fruit, represented by the ascorbic acid degradation, leaded to develop an algorithm for the solution of the optimization problem which objective function was to minimize the energy consumption, cycle time and maximum temperature achieved by the fruit. Results show the optimal operation conditions for a fixed number of trucks in the tunnel and indicate that countercurrent configuration is more efficient when heat requirements per kg of dry solids is evaluated for approximately constant ascorbic acid degradation. Furthermore, energy consumption for both configurations is reduced when compared to non optimized simulation results
