Heat sterilization has a long history. However, due to lacking of precise research, the sterilization relies mainly on experience, which leads to uncompleted sterilization or energy wastage. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a tool to study the flow and heat transfer properties of different kinds of fluid. With the development of computer science and the improvement of CFD itself, CFD has been widely used in the industrial engineering. In this work, the CFD is used to study variation of the central temperature of an orange juice model under the HTST sterilization. Compared with the experiment results, the current simulation method is optimized and the error is reduced.
