Why do we use aluminium foil for wrapping food?? - 1-LVDCPN - 01-11-2018
aluminium has high thermal diffusivity ;therefore heat will diffuse swiftly through the foil.What is the logic behind wrapping our food items in aluminium foil ?? A sheet of paper has much lower thermal diffusivity as compared to aluminium foil so any food item wrapped in a sheet of paper will remain warmer for more duration as compared to food item wrapped in aluminium foil..right?
