The techniques used throughout this book require physical properties and techni-
cal data in the form of mathematical equations instead of tabulated or graphical
format. Thus, the purpose of this appendix is to provide the appropriate equations
for the most common thermophysical properties and technical data required in
food process design. The proposed equations have been fitted to the available data
retrieved from the related literature. In all figures throughout this Appendix, the
real data from the literature are presented with points, while the fitted equations
are presented with continuous curves.
The data for the properties of water, steam and air (Section II) are retrieved
mainly from Pakowski et al. (1991), Perry and Green (1997) and Saravacos and
Maroulis (2001). The thermal properties of major food components (Section III)
are based on the work of Choi and Okos (1983). The transport properties of se-
lected foods (Section IV) are from Saravacos and Maroulis (2001). The fluid flow
and convection heat transfer analysis (Sections V and VI, respectively) can be
found in textbooks on fluid flow and heat transfer, such as McCabe et al. (2001)
and Levenspiel (1986).
