Physical characteristics of promotion viscous environments in pipeline
The issues related to the scientific substantiation of motion of visco -plastic food mass through round-sectioned pipes as one of the very complex and important practical problems related to the need for various types of calculations have been studied. The magnitude of the numerical values of the properties of the product creates foundation for calculation of kinematic and dynamic parameters of product movement, motor power, structural dimensions of machines and strength conditions. The use of pipelines is much more promising as compared to traditional carts and gutters to move the visco-plastic food mass. The experimental procedure involves the measurement of geometric (length, diameter, holes, slots), dynamic (pressure and flow properties) and kinematic factors (average speed by weight or volume flow). The processing method of dimensional analysis when instead of dynamic factors such kinematic and geometric factors as average speed and internal diameter of the tube, respectively are considered as the carriers, allows the formulation of criterion equation of dynamic movement of visco-plastic food masses.
