Summary

THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY WAS MEASURED USING A GUARDED HOT PLATE APPARATUS. SIMPLE EMPIRICAL EQUATIONS WERE PRESENTED FOR THE CONDUCTIVITY OF HIGH-MOISTURE (65 TO 80%) MEAT AND OFFALS. WITH INDEPENDENTLY OBTAINED VALUES OF PHYSICAL PARAMETERS, SEVERAL THEORETICAL MODELS WERE TESTED. OVER A WIDE RANGE OF COMPOSITIONS AND TEMPERATURES, BEST PREDICTIONS WERE OBTAINED WITH LEVY'S MODIFICATION TO THE MAXWELL-EUCKEN EQUATION. ITS ACCURACY WAS NOT UNDULY SENSITIVE TO THE UNCERTAINTIES IN THE VALUES OF THE PHYSICAL PARAMETERS, THE PREDICTION ERRORS REMAINING IN THE RANGE MORE OR LESS 10%.
