Rheological properties of tahin/pekmez blends were determined at different tahin concentrations (20-32%) and temperatures (35-65 degrees C) by using a concentric cylinder rotational viscometer. Tahin/pekmez blends were found to exhibit non-Newtonian, shear thinning behavior at all temperatures and tahin concentrations. Apparent viscosity versus shear rate data was successfully fitted to the power-law model. The flow behavior index, n varied in the range of 0.7-0.85. The consistency coefficient, K, was in the range of 282-2547 mPa s(n). Both parameters were significantly affected by temperature. The effect of temperature on n did not follow a descriptive trend while the relation between temperature and K was described by an Arrhenius-type equation. Activation energies appeared in the range of 13376-28592J/mol with increasing concentration. The effect of concentration was significant for only K and it was described by exponential and power functions. A mathematical expression to relate apparent viscosity to temperature, tahin concentration and shear rate was proposed.

Rheological characterization of tahin/pekmez (sesame paste/concentrated grape juice) blends Arslan, Elif; Esin, Ali; Yener, Esra; Department of Food Engineering (2003) The aim of this study was to determine the rheological properties of tahin/pekmez blends at different tahin concentrations (20-32%) and temperatures (35-65 C) by using a concentric cylinder rotational viscometer. Samples were sheared with seven different rotational speeds at an increasing order. The shear rates (0.75-63.9 s-1) were calculated by the Power-law Approximation method. Tahin/pekmez blends were found to exhibit non-Newtonian, shear thinning behavior at all temperatures and tahin concentrations. T...
Rheological properties of extruded dispersions of flaxseed-maize blend WU, Min; Lİ, Dong; WANG, Li-Jun; Özkan, Necati; Mao, Zhi-Huai (2010-06-01) Rheological properties of the extruded pastes of various extrusion conditions were investigated by dynamic oscillation and creep-recovery tests. Temperature sweep test showed that the starch gelatinization of non-extruded pastes took place at about 67 degrees C and no gelatinization was observed for the extruded sample. Frequency sweep tests could be represented by a Power law model and the samples showed gel-like behavior since storage modulus was much larger than loss modulus. The creep-recovery data were...
NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER OF NANOFLUIDS FOR LAMINAR FLOW IN A CIRCULAR TUBE Kirez, Oguz; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; KAKAÇ, SADIK (2012-11-15) In this study, a numerical analysis of heat transfer enhancement of Alumina/water nanofluid in a steady-state, single-phase, laminar flow in a circular duct is presented for the case of constant wall heat flux and constant wall temperature boundary conditions. The analysis is performed with a newly suggested model (Corcione) for effective thermal conductivity and viscosity, which show the effects of temperature and nanoparticle diameter. The results for Nusselt number and heat transfer enhancement are prese...
Experimental Thermal Performance Characterization of Flat Grooved Heat Pipes Alijani, Hossein; ÇETİN, BARBAROS; Akkus, Yigit; Dursunkaya, Zafer (Informa UK Limited, 2019-06-15) The thermal characterization of aluminum flat grooved heat pipes is performed experimentally for different groove dimensions. Three heat pipes with groove widths of 0.2 mm, 0.4 mm, and 1.5 mm are used in the experiments. The effect of the amount of the working fluid is extensively studied for each groove width. The results reveal that, although all three succeed in dissipating the heat input through the phase change of the working fluid by continuous evaporation and condensation, the effectiveness of the he...
An experimental investigation on performance of annular fins on a horizontal cylinder in free convection heat transfer Yildiz, S; Yüncü, Hafit (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-02-01) Natural convection heat transfer in annular fin-arrays mounted on a horizontal cylinder was experimentally investigated. An experimental set-up was constructed to investigate heat transfer characteristics of 18 sets of annular fin-arrays mounted on a horizontal cylinder of 24.9-mm diameter in atmospheric conditions. Keeping the fin thickness fixed at 1 mm, fin diameter is varied from 35 mm to 125 mm and fin spacing is varied from 3.6 mm to 31.7 mm. The base-to-ambient temperature difference was also varied ...
