Typical heat penetration curves for conduction and convection heating products.
most formula methods for heat penetration parameters (fh and jch) were obtained
from a plot of the logarithm of the temperature difference between the retort (Tr)
and the product (T) [i.e., log (Tr – T)] vs. heating time (on linear abscissa),

that exhibited the following heating data when processed in a retort at 250 F. It
took 3 minutes from introduction of steam to the time retort reached 250 F.

Calculate the temperature at various times during heating and cooling of this
product processed at Tr = 251◦F if T0 = 160◦F, and t = 35 minutes from steam
introduction. Cooling from t=35 minutes to 50 minutes.Tc = 70◦F. Retort come-up
time = 3 minutes. Calculate the Fo of this process using the general method and
Simpson’s rule for graphical integration of the lethality.
The following data represent the temperature at the slowest heating point in a
canned food processed at a retort temperature of 250 F. Calculate the F0 value
for this process. What will be the required process time to have a lethality equal
to an F0 of 9 minutes. Z-value is 18 F

Estimate the temperature at the geometric center of a food product
contained in a 303 x 406 can exposed to boiling water at 100 °C for
30 min. The product is assumed to heat and cool by conduction. The
initial uniform temperature of the product is 35 °C. The properties of
the food are thermal conductivity k = 0.34 W/m °C; specific heat cp =
3.5 kJ/kg °C; and density = 900 kg/m3. The convective heat transfer
coefficient for the boiling water is estimated to be 2000 W/m2 °C.

Estimate the time to reach the geometric center temperature of a food
product contained in a 303 x 406 can (50 °C) when it exposed to
boiling water at 100 °C. The product is assumed to heat and cool by
conduction. The initial uniform temperature of the product is 35 °C.
The properties of the food are thermal conductivity k = 0.34 W/m °C;
specific heat cp = 3.5 kJ/kg °C; and density = 900 kg/m3. The
convective heat transfer coefficient for the boiling water is estimated
to be 2000 W/m2 °C.
