Summary

Thermophysical properties of tropical fruit juices: thermal diffusivity, specific heat and density were experimentally determined, and the values obtained compared with those predicted by mathematical models based on the chemical composition. The determinations were made in the temperature range of 10 to 80 °C. The thermal conductivity was deduced from knowledge of the other properties. The viscosity of the filtered juices was also determined using a capillary viscometer.
