Popis: In this article, a two-dimensional model is proposed to determine thermal diffusivity and convective heat transfer coefficient, providing the average values, their uncertainties and the covariance matrix referring to these parameters for a product with cylindrical geometry during its cooling. The proposed model used a two-dimensional numerical solution of the diffusion equation for the direct problem; an experimental dataset referring to the cooling kinetics in the center of the product and an optimizer program based on the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm for the inverse problem. The model was used with success to determine the thermal properties, their uncertainties and the covariance matrix of a cucumber during its cooling. The obtained results allowed establishing a confidence band that made it possible to graphically evaluate the precision of a new simulation for a cucumber with different dimensions.
