As a food engineer in NewFoods Company, you are interested in understanding the rheological behaviour of a new formulation. After several runs, you have generated the following data for the formulation: You suspect that the formulation behaves as a power-law fluid, whereby R3-1 / ( ( ² 2 2 2 ) + dp 1 dz 2k 1+3n 9 = where After several runs, you have generated the following data for the formulation: -dp/dz (Pa/m) q (m3/s) 0.0111 0.00912 0.00713 0.00487 0.00336 q: volumetric flow rate -dp/dz: pressure drop R: radius of pipe (0.01 m) k: consistency coefficient n: flow behaviour index Determine the values of k and n using the non-linear least squares regression method discussed in class. 100000 90000 80000 70000 60000 50000 40000 30000 20000 10000 0.00235 0.00129 0.000689 0.000264 0.0000537 As a food engineer in NewFoods Company, you are interested in understanding the rheological behaviour of a new formulation.
