Abstract

Specific heat measurements were carried out on various parts of an oil palm fresh fruit bunch (ffb) namely: fruitlet mesocarp or fiber; shell and nut; and the stalk. The measurements were made in the temperature range 40 degrees to 100 degrees C using the DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) method. Attempts were also made to correlate the data using a polynomial equation of the form cp EAnTn. An overall specific heat equation correlating the temperature equation and the mass fraction of the fruit was also proposed.
