Abstrakt: Heat penetration (HP) test data have been obtained for water in 13 sizes of metal cans and for 16 fluids with different physical properties in 211 × 400 metal cans. Data were collected until the slowest heating zone was less than 0.1 C° below the heating medium temperature. When conventional HP graphs were plotted, these natural convection heating liquids formed curves instead of straight lines. A straight line was fitted by least squares regression to the data between (T 1 - T) values from 40.0 to 4.0, 10.0 to 1.0, 4.0 to 0.4, and 1.0 to 0.2 C° and the f-values determined. The results show that the f-value of fluids that heat by convection increase with heating time, indicating that the true shape of the heat penetration data on a semilogarithmic graph is a curve.
