Title: A Computational Procedure for Mean Kinetic Temperature Using Unequally Spaced Data
Author(s): Amy B. Lock* and Christopher Tong
Companies: USDA and USDA
Keywords: Mean kinetic temperature ; stability ; Arrhenius equation ; Trapezoidal rule
Abstract:

The mean kinetic temperature (MKT) concept is reviewed and derived from the Arrhenius equation for the case of unequally spaced data. A new computational formula is presented for MKT using timepoint-temperature data pairs at unequally spaced time points, using a trapezoidal approximation. This formula allows the calculation of MKT for data loggers that change their sampling frequency in response to a temperature excursion or other alarm.
