Thermal behaviour of stirred yoghurt during cooling in plate heat exchangers

In this study, CFD calculations were made in order to analyse the thermal behaviour of yoghurt in a plate heat exchanger, the yoghurt viscosity being described by a Herschel–Bulkley model. The influence of Reynolds number on local Nusselt numbers was analysed as well as the influence of entry effect...
