The Ohio State University

This chapter provides a layman’s introduction to two food engineering topics that are critical to the safe production of ready-to-eat meat products. Objectives are to describe the various mechanisms of heat and mass transfer, to explain the differences between steady-state and unsteady-state transfer, and to describe some basic methods for estimating heat or mass flow.
