A Thermistor Based Method for Measurement of Thermal Conductivity and Thermal Diffusivity of Moist Food Materials at High Temperatures

The purpose of this research was to assess the suitability of the thermistor based method for measuring thermal conductivity and diffusivity of moist food materials at high temperatures. Research focused on aspects of calibration, thermal contact in solid food materials, natural convection in liquid...
