Characterization of the thermal properties of fluids<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.16.1″]<\/p>\n
In SACOME<\/strong> we have access to measurement devices and highly skilled staff, that allows us to characterize the thermal properties<\/strong> reliably and accurately, starting from a small sample of product:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\n- \n
\n- Specific Heat<\/strong>. Thanks to a differential scanning calorimeter<\/strong> we can apply a modulated temperature method<\/strong> in which the sample is heated in different stages of a few degrees, separated by isothermal periods, and with a heating ramp expressed in \u00baC \/ min. The calibration of the heat flow<\/strong> allows an exact measurement of the specific heat<\/strong> at low and high temperatures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
\n- \n
\n- Thermal Conductivity<\/strong>. It can be obtained by indirect measurement of the thermal diffusivity, by applying the Laser Flash (LFA) technique<\/strong>, or by direct measurement by contact using an inverted sensor, which also performs effusivity measurements<\/strong>. The equipment also allows measurements at different temperatures.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
\n- \n
\n- Viscosity.<\/strong> Many products processed in the Food Industry<\/strong>, as well as many waste compounds from all types of industries, show a non-Newtonian behavior<\/strong>: that is, the viscosity varies not only with temperature, but also with the shear stress<\/strong> (directly related with the flowrate and diameter of the pipe). For a correct characterization of these fluids a rheological study<\/strong> needs to be performed, using a rheometer<\/strong> with the appropriate geometry, and a shear rate scan<\/strong> can also be done. This study can be performed in a wide range of temperatures whenever the mandatory precautions to avoid the drying out of the sample are met.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
