Measurements of heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) at four different positions on the surface of a model lamb carcass were
performed using a steady state sensor that has been described previously. The model carcass was placed in a wind tunnel and
subjected to airflows at 5 C. HTCs were measured for free-stream air velocities between 0.5 and 8 ms1 and free-stream turbulence
intensities between 1% and 8%. At the lowest turbulence intensity, the measured HTCs varied by as much as a factor of 5, depending
on the location of the sensor on the carcass surface. When the turbulence intensity was increased, a significant increase in
the HTCs at one position was observed, and the overall variation in heat transfer coefficients was lower. The effect of natural
convection was also investigated, but was not found to be as significant as the effect of sensor position or turbulence intensity.
