Published isothermal inactivation data indicated that beer can undergo under- or over-processing depending on the target log reduction and the shape of the survival curve of a microorganism if traditional first-order model is used. This was demonstrated for a mold, yeasts and lactic acid bacteria by use of a more flexible and convenient model than the first-order model, namely Weibull model. The parameters of the Weibull model can be reduced from two to one with a very a slight loss of goodness-of-fit. The validity of the proposed model should also be checked for mixed populations of microorganisms in beer and non-isothermal treatments for beer. Beer can be the first product to validate the proposed model in industrial base since it has been free from problems with pathogenic microorganisms. If the model provides the requirements then it can also be used in other food products. This will minimize the energy expenditure for pasteurization and provide minimal processing to achieve a better food quality. (C) 2006 Swiss Society of Food Science and Technology.

Analysis of single phase convective heat transfer in microchannels with variable thermal conductivity and variable viscosity Gözükara, Arif Cem; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) In this study simultaneously developing single phase, laminar and incompressible flow in a micro gap between parallel plates is numerically analyzed by including the effect of variation in thermal conductivity and viscosity with temperature. Variable property solutions for continuity, momentum and energy equations are performed in a coupled manner, for air as a Newtonian fluid. In these analyses the rarefaction effect, which is important for the slip flow regime, is taken into account by imposing slip veloc...
A new modal superposition method for nonlinear vibration analysis of structures using hybrid mode shapes Ferhatoglu, Erhan; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (Elsevier BV, 2018-07-01) In this paper, a new modal superposition method based on a hybrid mode shape concept is developed for the determination of steady state vibration response of nonlinear structures. The method is developed specifically for systems having nonlinearities where the stiffness of the system may take different limiting values. Stiffness variation of these nonlinear systems enables one to define different linear systems corresponding to each value of the limiting equivalent stiffness. Moreover, the response of the n...
Development of a shell finite element for large deformation analysis of laminated composites Yıldız, Tuba; Darendeliler, Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) The objective of the present work is to investigate the behavior of laminated fiber -reinforced polymer matrix composite shell structures under bending load with the help of a modified finite element computer code which was previously developed for the analysis of pseudo-layered single material shells. The laminates are assumed to be orthotropic and the formulation is adapted to first order shear deformation theory. The aim is to determine the large deformation characteristics numerically, and to predict th...
A computational model for reinforced concrete members confined with fiber reinforced polymer lamina: Implementation and experimental validation Mosalam, Khalid M.; Talaat, Mohamed; Binici, Barış (Elsevier BV, 2007-7) This study presents a computational model to simulate the behavior of confined concrete in column plastic hinge zones. The model describes the distribution of confining stresses within a circular column cross-section and the hysteretic behavior of concrete under passive confinement. Of particular interest is the ability of the model to predict the maximum circumferential strains and thus estimate the limit state of the confining medium rather than relying on empirical limits such as concrete compressive str...
A method of strain and stress analysis for failure prediction in laminated composites Ardiç, E.S.; Bolcan, C.; Kayran, Altan (SAGE Publications, 1995-01-01) In this study, a method of strain and stress analysis is developed to predict the failure initiation in laminated composites containing two or more different kinds of laminae. In principle, the method developed in this study is similar to non-local elasticity, but the long-range interactions are considered on the strains instead of material moduli, and the method is developed and applied as a realistic and practical one. Firstly, the strain fields in each layer are determined separately and then these strai...
