Kovalyov O. Substantiation of parameters of jet-slit homogenizer of milk with separate supply of cream

The dissertation is devoted to solving the scientific problem of reducing energy consumption for the process of milk dispersion by determining the rational values of technological, hydraulic and design parameters of the little - studied jet - slit homogenizer of milk with separate cream supply. As a result of theoretical and experimental researches the dependences connecting the basic geometrical, hydraulic and constructive parameters of work of the jet-slit homogenizer are received. Critical values of Weber numbers were obtained as a basic criterion linking the rate of skim milk, fat content of cream, diameter of the fat phase feed channel, distance at the site of greatest narrowing and feed of the dispersed phase. The relationships between the performance of the dispersant, the specific energy consumption and the average size of fat globules after homogenization. A method for calculating the parameters of the jet-slit homogenizer of milk has been developed. An industrial design of a jet-slit homogenizer of milk is proposed. The industrial prototype of jet-mixing homogenizer of milk is offered. The results of researches are applied in industry.
