MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF THE SOLAR ENERGY DEATH PROCESS FOR TUT SILK WORM COCKS

This article presents a mathematical model of the process of rendering silkworm cocoons lifeless using solar energy. The model is based on the heat balance equation and the Arrhenius kinetic equation and is implemented in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The differential equations were solved using the ODE45 method. Simulation results showed that at a concentration coefficient of C=10, the temperature inside the cocoon rises to 80-90°C, achieving an extinguishing efficiency of 99.9997% within approximately 3.5 hours. The proposed model serves as a practical basis for implementing environmentally friendly disinfection technologies in the silk industry.
