Foods - Thermal Conductivities
Thermal conductivity of selected foodstuff like apples, beef, sugar and more.
Conduction as heat transfer takes place if there is a temperature gradient in a solid or stationary fluid medium.
Thermal conductivity of some selected food products:
Food | Water Content (%) | Temperature (oC) | Thermal Conductivity (W/(m K)) |
