Author(s) : JAMES S. J., SWAIN M. J.

Summary

THE EFFECT ON COOLING TIMES OF MORE OR LESS THICK FAT LAYERS AT THE SURFACE OF MEAT BLOCKS WAS STUDIED WITH THE USE OF A MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF THERMAL FLOW. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT A 1.5 CM THICK FAT LAYERMAY INCREASE UP TO 82% THE COOLING TIMES OF MEAT BLOCKS ONLY 4 CM THICK, IN SPITE OF HIGH SURFACE HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS.
