Prediction of Thermal Properties of Food Materials

Enter Composition and Temperature

Moisture = %
Carbohydrate = %
Protein = %
Fat = %
Ash = %
Fiber = %
Temperature = ^oF ^oC

Results

Density, ρ = kg/m³
Specific heat, cp = kJ/(kg.^oC)
Thermal conductivity, k = W/(m.^oC)
Thermal diffusivity, α = mm²/s

Errors in these predicted values could be up to 5 %.
