Abstract

ABSTRACTThe Helical Screw Rheometer (HSR) is being evaluated for rheological measurements of fluid food suspensions. the HSR consists of a helical screw enclosed in a tight fitting cylinder. With a closed system the inner screw is rotated creating a linearly increasing pressure differential along the axis of the screw, which is proportional to the viscosity of the fluid. This paper presents theoretical one‐ and two‐dimensional flow analyses for Newtonian fluids using both rectangular and cylindrical coordinates. For non‐Newtonian fluids a one‐dimensional rectangular analysis was developed using the power law model.
