The use of shape factors to model multidimensional heat conduction. Their application to the prediction of thawing times of foods.

Author(s) : MASCHERONI R. H.

Summary

The paper deals with the use of certain shape factors to predict the thawing time of high-water-content foods of any shape and composition. Four different simplified methods for the calculation of the thawing time of slab-shaped foods were used as a base, so as to test their precision and simplicity of use.
