Cornea is the important apparatus of organism, which has complex cell structure. Heat and mass transfer and thermal parameters during vacuum freeze-drying of keeping corneal activity are studied. The freeze-drying cornea experiments were operated in the homemade vacuum freeze dryer. Pressure of the freeze-drying box was about 50 Pa and temperature was about −10°C by controlled, and operating like this could guarantee survival ratio of the corneal endothelium over the grafting normal. Theory analyzing of corneal freeze-drying, mathematical model of describing heat and mass transfer during vacuum freeze-drying of cornea was established. The analogy computation for the freeze-drying of cornea was made by using finite-element computational software. When pressure of the freeze-drying box was about 50 Pa and temperature was about −10°C, time of double-side drying was 170 min. In this paper, a moving-grid finite-element method was used. The sublimation interface was tracked continuously. The finite-element mesh is moved continuously such that the interface position always coincides with an element node. Computational precision was guaranteed. The computational results were agreed with the experimental results. It proved that the mathematical model was reasonable. The finite-element software is adapted for calculating the heat and mass transfer of corneal freeze-drying.

The freeze-drying process is a complex heat and mass transfer process virtually. The drying process of freeze-drying is not only the key stage which decides the success of freeze-drying, but also the most difficult stage to control. There are lots of papers about heat and mass transfer in vacuum freeze drying at home and abroad. The present status of research on heat and mass transfer during vacuum freeze drying in the secondary drying is summed up and analyzed, and the trend of research in this field is discussed in this paper.

When applied technology Freeze - Drying in preserving foods had economy value, it seems that establishment and solution mathematical model heat and mass transfer at the same time in conditional processing freeze - drying is very important problem. From that point it is basis of science to determine regime technology Freeze - Drying. In this article, we will publish result research to set up and solve mathematical model heat and mass transfer at the same time of cylinder form in conditional freeze - drying. Result research will apply for preserving fishery foods crustacean group (PENAEUS MONODON, PENAEUS MERGUIENSIS, PENAEUS VANNAMEI) has economy value.

Freeze-drying is a dehydration method suitable for the stabilization of heat-labile pharmaceutical products, such as vaccines. Due to the vial-to-vial variability of heat and mass transfer during the process, the value of the critical process parameters (e.g., product temperature, sublimation rate) may be different between vials and batches often present significant product quality heterogeneity. The aim of this work was the development of a dynamic, multi-vial mathematical model making it possible to predict risk of failure of the process, defined as the percentage of vials potentially rejected by quality inspection. This tool could assist the design of freeze-drying cycle. Keywords: lyophilization; vaccines; heat and mass transfer; mathematical modeling; design space

Существуют два основных подхода решения задачи тепломассопереноса при численном моделировании промерзания грунтов: 1) решение методом конечных разностей с учетом граничных условий (границей, например, является фронт промерзания); 2) решение методом конечных элементов без учета границ модели. Оба подхода имеют существенные недостатки, что оставляет проблему решения задачи для численной модели промерзания грунтов острой и актуальной. В данной работе представлена физическая постановка промерзания, которая позволяет создать численную модель, базирующуюся на решении методом конечных элементов, но при этом отражающую ход фронта промерзания - то есть модель, в которой объединены оба подхода к решению задачи промерзания грунтов. Для подтверждения корректности модели был проделан ряд экспериментов по физическому моделированию промерзания модельного грунта и выполнен сравнительный анализ полученных экспериментальных данных и результатов расчетов на базе представленной численной модели с такими же граничными условиями, как в экспериментах. There are two basic approaches to solving the problem of heat and mass transfer in the numerical modeling of soil freezing: 1) using the finite difference method taking into account boundary conditions (the boundary, for example, is the freezing front); 2) using the finite element method without consideration of model boundaries. Both approaches have significant drawbacks, which leaves the issue of solving the problem for the numerical model of soil freezing acute and up-to-date. This article provides the physical setting of freezing that allows us to create a numerical model based on the solution by the finite element method, but at the same time reflecting the route of the freezing front, i.e. the model that combines both approaches to solving the problem of soil freezing. In order to confirm the correctness of the model, a number of experiments on physical modeling of model soil freezing have been performed, and a comparative analysis of the experimental data obtained and the calculation results based on the provided numerical model with the same boundary conditions as in the experiments was performed.
