HEAT CAPACITY OF NATURAL FRUIT JUICES AND OF THEIR CONCENTRATES AT TEMPERATURES FROM 10 TO 120oC
M. A. Magerramov UDC 536.71:536.22:522.14 The heat capacity of natural apple, cherry, and raspberry juices and of their concentrates has been studied at temperatures from 10 to 120oC and pressures of 0.1 and 2 MPa. A setup based on the method of adiabatic calorimeter was assembled to carry out investigations. An estimate of the error of setup operation as well as control measurements on water prove the accuracy of experimental data to be within ±0.8% at the indicated parameters of state. For the heat capacity of juices 175 values have been obtained. Equations that describe experimental data as functions of temperature and content of dry matter have been constructed.
