A transient method for determining thermal diffusivity of tobacco stems
Macdonald College of McGill University, Dept. of Renewable Resources, Ste Anne de Bellevue, Quebec, Canada.
A microwave generator and a closed-circuit wind tunnel were used to measure the thermal diffusivity of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) stems in vivo by the unsteady-state method. A simple mathematical model for heat flow, based on Fourier's...
