Batch dough viscosity influence on flow-pressure characteristics of the kneading machine
The balance equation and concentration flows based on the models which make it possible to analyze the eponymous models of flow rheology in the block screw channel in a dough mixing machine has been considered. The analysis of the transportation and batch process based on one-dimensional model proved the necessity to apply sigmoidal coefficient of pressure function. The transition from one-dimensional problems to multidimensional transport problems is associated with the transformation of systems of equations to a symmetric form. The resulting system of equations after using Green's theorem can be solved by the finite element method.
