Abstract
This paper reports new measurements of the effective thermal conductivity of agricultural materials such as grains by means of the transient heat flow method using a line heat source. The effect of a probe diameter used for the transient heat flow method on the effective thermal conductivity was studied using standard spherical particles and some grains. It was concluded that the transient heat flow method can be applied to the measurement of the effective thermal conductivity of agricultural materials such as grains provided that the ratio of the probe diameter to the diameter of the particles of the specimen is greater than unity.
