Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to show how the performance of a continuous heat-treatment plant may be predicted from the temperature distribution and the flow time distributions obtained as described in the first paper of this series (1), using thermal death-time characteristics appropriate to the micro-organisms of greatest importance. The calculations are carried out using the data obtained for the plant described in the previous paper, and they provide an estimate of the bactericidal effectiveness to be expected from that plant.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
