Intended audience for this book: engineers, technologists, and students
interested in processing biological fluids (primarily food and pharmaceutical fluids)
subjected to various mechanical forces and thermal treatments that affect process
design and product quality.
What can you learn from this book? The text, which includes many example
problems, is designed for self-study so users of the work will be able to:
- Understand the basic principles of fluid rheology needed to examine
bioprocessing pipeline design problems; - Determine the rheological properties of biological fluids (including those with
large particulates) needed to calculate pipeline design parameters and
characterize processing systems; - Solve pumping problems for biological fluids using the mechanical energy
balance equation as the framework for the analysis; - Characterize the shear and thermal treatments given to biological materials in
fluid processing systems.
