The thermodynamic and physical properties of parchment coffee beans in Veracruz (Mexico) have been evaluated as function of moisture content. The moisture content of the examined parchment ranged from 11.0% to 55.0%. The results indicate that the angle of repose, the bulk density, the specific heat and enthalpy depend mainly on moisture. Physical and geometric properties such as length, width, thickness and superficial flat and transversal areas are not dependent on moisture content but rather on the morphology of the beans.

Abstract

The thermodynamic and physical properties of parchment coffee beans in Veracruz (Mexico) have been evaluated as function of moisture content. The moisture content of the examined parchment ranged from 11.0% to 55.0%. The results indicate that the angle of repose, the bulk density, the specific heat and enthalpy depend mainly on moisture. Physical and geometric properties such as length, width, thickness and superficial flat and transversal areas are not dependent on moisture content but rather on the morphology of the beans.
