Taking into account the growing interest in microalgae to be used as raw material for biodiesel production, this research is aimed at analyzing the rheological behaviour of microalgae suspensions (Chlorella sp) at different culture times under eight different conditions (temperature, salinity and CO2, NO3 and PO4 levels) in order to estimate the energy demands of each step, with the purpose of ...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to elaborate a method of modelling and forecasting rheological features which could be applied to raw minced meat at the stage of mixture preparation with a given ingredient composition. MATERIAL AND METHODS The investigated material contained pork and beef meat, pork fat, fat substitutes, ice and curing mixture in various proportions. Seven texture paramet...

In this research, the effect of shape parameters such as number of magnet wire turns, spools, thickness of the gap, and pole length in a Magneto-rheological (MR) fluid damper is analytically investigated and the optimization of these parameters is done with response surface method (RSM) which is combined Neuro-Fuzzy method and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. Since the electro-magne...

The effect of different extraction rates (64%, 82% and 90%) of wheat flour on the rheological properties of the wheat flour dough was investigated. A complete study of the rheological behavior of the wheat flour dough was performed by using three different instruments namely alveograph, extensograph, and farinograph. The correlation coefficient among the various parameters of applied methods wa...
