Thixotropy of sweetened condensed milk applied to flow fluid dynamics analysis of cylindrical pipes

Understanding the rheological behavior of fluids and the parameters related to flow fluid dynamics is important for better designing equipment and enhancing processes in the food industry. Thus, the objective of this study was to characterize the rheological behavior of sweetened condensed milk (SCM) in the temperature range of 278.15 to 343.15 K, investigate the friction factor in laminar flow for this fluid, and evaluate the correlation...
