Conduction of Burger Patty

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi all!

I'm very new to COMSOL and currently I'm woking on conduction of burger patty (3D, temperature distribution, time dependent, 1 sided hot plate). My problem is the type of physics to be selected.

1) Is burger patty considered as a solid, porous media or bioheat tissue? If solid or porous media, how do i make it multicomponent? Eg. 21% Fat and 79% Meat protein? If I select bioheat, how do i know how much fat or muscle contained or is there someway i can input specific composition percentages?

2) Since I am considering moisture transport within the patty, that comes under Transport of Diluted Species right?

3) Is there any specific sources I can refer to? Any suggestions of similar models?
