Design and fabrication of a device for measuring thermal diffusivity of food substances

Currently available various steady state and unsteady state (transient) methods for the measurement of thermal properties of food substances are limited and have several limitations. Modern research is in process of developing a device which is able to overcome these limitations. In this project a n...
