Author(s) : CLELAND D. J.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

MEASUREMENTS OF THAWING TIME WERE MADE OVER VARIOUS CONDITIONS FOR SLAB, INFINITE CYLINDER AND SPHERE SHAPES OF A FOOD ANALOGUE MATERIAL. THESE RESULTS WERE USED TO ASSESS EXISTING THAWING TIME PREDICTION METHODS. NO PREVIOUSLY SIMPLE PREDICTION FORMULA WAS FOUND THAT WAS BOTH SUFFICIENTLY ACCURATE AND EXPRESSED IN A FORM SUITABLE FOR IT TO BE ADOPTED AS A GENERAL THAWING TIME PREDICTION METHOD. FOUR ACCURATE, BUT SIMPLE, EMPIRICAL FORMULAE BASED ON PLANK'S EQUATION WERE DEVELOPED.
