Effective thermal conductivity of the hair coat of Holstein cows in a tropical environment Condutividade térmica efetiva da capa de pelame de vacas Holandesas em ambiente tropical
The objective of the present study was to assess the effective thermal conductivity of the hair coat (k ef, mW.m-1.K-1) of Holstein cows in a tropical environment, as related to conduction and radiation in the absence of free convection. The average k ef was 49.72 mW.m-1.K-1, about twice the conduct...
