Abstract

In the transportation of skipjack tuna to various destination countries, it is crucial to ensure that the skipjack tuna persists and remains of high quality. This study aims to analyse the airflow distribution inside the reefer container with the cargo load of skipjack tuna. The analysis carries out the computational fluid dynamics method to obtain appropriate airflow settings and investigate the temperature distribution inside reefer containers. The designed reefer container is 40ft with detailed structural variables of the T-bar and flat floor. The simulation result shows reefer containers that use the T-bar floor provide offer a thorough airflow distribution to cooling pallet stacks with full load conditions. The finding of the simulation results is the airflow rate of 5 m/s and the inlet temperature of-6°C will provide optimal cooling distribution.
