Dear all,
I´ve make a research about pulsed electric field for liquid sterilization based on simulations (Matlab). After calculation of the electrical field distribution and current density in each element of the mesh, I would like to estimate the final temperature (the temperature increased because the joule effect on the liquid conductivity=2microS/cm). I´ve applied pulses (from 20 to 600) with duration of 2μs and frequency 1Hz. I´ve calculated the increase of the temperature during time in which the electrical field is applied (2μs), but I don´t know how we could estimate the temperature drop when the electrical field is not applied (most of the pulse period). The liquid volume is about 18cm^3 in it is in a acrylical cylindrical chamber. Could someone help me?
Regards
Eduardo
