An experimental investigation was conducted to explore the flow behavior, pressure drop, and heat transfer due to free air jet impingement on square in-line pin fin heat sinks (PFHS) mounted on a plane horizontal surface. A parametrically consistent set of aluminum heat sinks with fixed base dimension of 25 × 25 mm was used, with pin heights varying between 12.5 mm and 22.5 mm, and fin thickness between 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm. A 6:1 contracting nozzle having a square outlet cross sectional area of 25 × 25 mm was used to blow air at ambient temperature on the top of the heat sinks with velocities varying from 2 to 20 m/s. The ratio of the gap between the jet exit and the pin tips to the pin height, the so-called tip clearance ratio, was varied from 0 (no tip clearance) to 1. The stagnation pressure recovered at the center of the heat sink was higher for tall pins than short pins. The pressure loss coefficient showed a little dependence on Re, increased with increasing pin density, and pin diameter, and decreased with increasing pin height and clearance ratio. The overall base-to-ambient thermal resistance decreased with increasing Re number, pin density and pin diameter. Surprisingly, the dependence of the thermal resistance on the pin height and clearance ratio was shown to be mild at low Re, and to vanish at high Re number.

The flow behavior of the administrated fluid matrices demands careful assessments for stability as consumed by individuals with dysphagia. In the present study, we incorporate tapioca starch (TS), hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate (HDP), and xanthan gum (XG) as thickeners into different nectars (300±20 mPa.s) undergoing thermal processing and evaluated their stability. The thickened nectars presented better water holding and oil binding capacities at 25 ℃ than 4 ℃, and the nectars with TS provided the best results for both capacities as well as the highest solubility index and swelling power (p<0.05). All prepared nectars appeared to be shear-thinning fluids with yield stress closely fitting the power law and Casson models. XG-contained nectars presented a higher yield stress and consistency index. Matrices thickened by HDP exhibited a higher viscoelastic property compared to those thickened by TS during thermal processing. TS nectars presented viscous behavior, whereas HDP and XG nectars presented elastic behavior at 80 ℃ processing. The 3-min thermal processing HDP-nectars remained stable and met dysphagia-friendly requirements under 4 ℃ storage for 28 days regardless of the types of fluid bases (distilled water, sport drink, or orange juice). The employed thickeners present adequate physicochemical properties to be potentially utilized for producing dysphagia-friendly formulations.

The use of acid whey in food formulations is one way to reduce the environmental problems associated with its disposal. In the present study, a new formulation of a drinking dessert was prepared using Lactic cheese whey, milk, xanthan gum at 4 levels (0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%), resistant corn starch at 4 levels (0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5%), cocoa powder and sugar. Samples containing starch and gum had higher viscosity and were completely stable, with no syneresis and sedimentation after a month of storage at 4 °C. Samples containing 0.3% xanthan gum and 1% corn starch were considered as the desired drink based on sensory analysis. Study of the optimal flow behavior indicated that the drinking dessert is a non-Newtonian pseudoplastic fluid, and the Herschel-Bulkily model was the best model to describe the flow behavior. The pH of the synbiotic dessert containing L. GG was almost constant after 7 days of storage at 4 °C, while the pH of samples containing L. paracasei decreased by 0.7. The population of both probiotic bacteria decreased during storage time at 4 °C. The rate of decrease was higher for L. paracasei than L. GG. However, both contained >106 CFU mL-1, which is necessary for the health benefits of probiotic bacteria.

Abstract The effect of sucrose at different concentrations (0, 10, 20, and 30% w/w) on rheological and thermal properties of 5% (w/w) rice starch (RS) pastes mixed with guar gum (GG) and xanthan gum (XG) was examined. The flow behavior index (n) values of RS–gum mixtures in the presence of sucrose were higher than those of the control (0% sucrose), whereas their K and σoc values were lower. The RS–XG–sucrose mixtures showed much higher dynamic moduli values than the control, while the RS–GG–sucrose mixtures, except for the 30% sucrose concentration, showed lower values, indicating that the viscoelastic properties of RS–XG mixtures were greatly affected by the addition of sucrose. In general, differential scanning calorimetry studies showed that the presence of sucrose resulted in an increase in the gelatinization temperatures and a decrease in gelatinization enthalpy. These results could facilitate the development of RS-based products with improved thermal and rheological properties.

Effect of hydrocolloids (arabic, xanthan, cress seed, fenugreek, flaxseed, and okra gums) at 0.5 and 2.0% concentrations on sweet potato starch pasting, viscoelastic, textural, and thermal properties was studied. Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA) measurements showed that the final viscosity was increased as a function of gum irrespective of their concentration except with cress seed gum. Dynamic rheological data revealed that the magnitude of the moduli was increased as a function of angular frequency and no crossovers were perceived among them. Consistency coefficient (k) was decreased by the addition of any gum and also with increasing concentration of gums except with xanthan gum at 25°C. Flow behavior index (n) data showed that starch gum blends possessed more pseudoplastic shear thinning behavior than those for the control at 25°C and pseudoplasticity was further increased with increasing concentration of xanthan, fenugreek, flaxseed, and okra gums. Texture analysis data displayed that after overnight storage of starch gels at room temperature, hardness was significantly increased by the addition of gums except for xanthan. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) profile showed that enthalpy was decreased by the inclusion of xanthan gum.

The equibiaxial extensional viscosity of the doughs prepared from gluten and xanthan gum at three levels was determined in this work. The gluten-xanthan gum mixture exhibited strain rate thinning behavior at constant strain, and can be described by power-law model. The consistency index increased with increasing strain and xanthan gum content, while flow behavior index decreased with increasing strain and increased with increasing xanthan gum content. Cross-links in gluten network increased after xanthan gum addition and the increase magnitude was more markable at higher deformation rate.
