“…These steps were widely studied both experimentally and by means of mathematical modeling in the literature (Buckton, 1990;Hogekamp & Schubert, 2003;Schubert, 1987;Schubert, 1993). The mathematical models developed in the food engineering field account only for the mass transfer aspect of the dissolution process (Hodges, Lowe, & Paterson, 1993;Koiranen, Kilpio, Nurmi, & Norden, 1999;Kravtchenko, Renoir, Parker, & Brigand, 1999;Larsen, Gaserod, & Smidsrod, 2003 & Paterson, 1998;Shan, Igarashi, & Ooshima, 2002). However, in other scientific domains more complex modeling includes also heat transfer which is obviously present during the dissolution of food powders.…”
