Ghaderi Department of Chemical Engineering, Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic), Tehran, Iran Journal Article 2015 10 13 The effective parameters on Ohmic heating in static system containing biosolid-water were studied. The effects of distribution of particles, salinity and electric field strength on electrical conductivity, profiles of temperature, heat generation have been investigated. The experimental data verification with simulation results using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method were carried out. Governing equations (heat transfer and electrical equations) were discretized with finite element method. The experimental data and CFD results showed that in Ohmic heating process, the current diffusion in all the products is faster than traditional methods and the diffusion rates are equal for both biosolid-liquid phases. <br style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" />
