In the current work, the nature and extent of milk fouling with and without the addition of Bacillus stearothermophilus in the feed solutions have been studied. A fouling detection system based on electric conductivity measurements has been used. The coresponding thermal resistance of the deposit layer has also been worked out. The fouling deposits have been analysed visually as well as with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show significant variation in the fouling patterns with and without the large presence of bacteria in the flowing medium.

Fouling of HX http://works.bepress.com/bipan_bansal/2 http://works.bepress.com/bipan_bansal/2 Sun, 28 Jan 2007 19:27:51 PST Surface tension of different homogenized milk and cream, available in New Zealand, has been measured using the ‘Capillary Rise’ method as well as the automated ‘Wilhelmy Plate’ method. The measured values are slightly higher than the values reported in the literature. Increasing the fat content is found to have an inverse effect on the surface tension. This effect diminishes progressively for fat concentrations beyond 30%. Milk proteins, reported in the literature as surface-active components, are observed to have no effect on the surface tension.
