amount of salt addition caused twice time reduction (20 min) for 160 volts’ case. Both

higher voltages.
Practical applications
There are several methods to extract essential oils from different parts of herbs, such as
hydro and steam-distillation. However, these usual techniques have shown some draw-
backs. Ohmic heating is a new thermal process that can enhance temperature of prod-
ucts during the passage of electric currents. This technology has many advantages
including shorter process time and better energy efficiency compare to usual heating.
The utilization of fluid flow and heat transfer governing equations to investigate the per-
formance of ohmic-hydrodistillation can help design and optimization of this process.
