Anyone have a specific heat capacity source for chewing tobacco. I have been asked to cool approx 5,000 pounds from 100 degrees F to 42 deg F. I do not know the Cp.

Thomas (Heat Transfer - Professional Version) lists the "International Critical Tables" as a source for many of his material property tables. He doesn't list tobacco; however wood has k's between 0.055(balsa) and 0.166 (hard wood)across the grain and fruit, with a 75% moisture content, has a k value of 0.513. Kreith (Fundamentals of Heat Transfer) also lists the "International Critical Tables" as the source for material properties; he notes that for wood parallel to the grain, the k value is approximately double of that across the grain.
Hope this is of some help.
