Thermal Conductivity of Starch Granules

Abstract
Data were obtained at 25°C on thermal conductivities of slurries of starch in a carbon tetrachloride‐ethyl benzene mixture having a density equal to that of the starch. The thermal conductivity of granular ordinary corn starch was estimated to be 0.125 B.t.u.‐foot per hour‐foot2‐0 F by calculation and by extrapolation from the slurry data. The thermal conductivities of granular corn starches decreased with increasing amylose content.
