PepsiCo R&D: Analysis of shear forces during mash disk formation
Allwright, David; Ballu, Marin; Correia, Joaquim M C; Chakraborty, Abishek; Cuminato, José; Ewetola, Michael; Grinfeld, Michael; Hall, CameronThis problem relates to the production of chips in a particular process. A potato composite composed of multiple mashed ingredients and small particles is fed through a spreading manifold. This forces the mash into a cylindrical mould (forming process) on a rotating drum to produce mouth sized disk pieces, which then continue to a drying process. During the forming process a scraper is used across the top of th...
Analysis of shear forces during mash disk formation
Allwright, David; Ballu, Marin; Correia, Joaquim M C; Chakraborty, Abishek; Cuminato, José; Ewetola, Michael; Grinfeld, Michael; Hall, CameronThis report concerns a forming process in which mash is forced from a spreading manifold into moulds on a rotating drum, transported in the moulds underneath a surface held flush with the drum (the shoe), and ejected from the moulds. The quality of the final product is understood to be related to the shear stresses experienced by the mash in the moulds as it is transported under the shoe. We describe and analys...

Gas Flow Rates through Inert and Chemically Reactive Porous Beds
Baker, Jonathan; Champneys, Alan; Correia, Joaquim; Ceseri, Maurizio; Curtis, John; Hicks, Peter D.; Hinch, John; Lacey, Andrew; Lawn, HeatherThe study group was tasked to investigate: 1. how gas ows through irregularly shaped particles, and whether the Kozeny-Carman equation (relating the Kozeny-Carman constant K, porosity \phi and specific surface area S_k), could be improved to extend the usual spherical particle geometries to account for cylindrical, tetrahedral, ellipsoid and rhombic particle geometries; 2. the critical pressure for the collapse...
Gas flow rates through inert and chemically reactive porous beds
Baker, Jonathan; Champneys, Alan; Correia, Joaquim M.C.; Ceseri, Maurizio; Curtis, John; Hicks, Peter D.; Hinch, John; Lacey, Andrew; Lawn, HeatherThe Atomic Weapons Establishment is interested in the behaviour of highly reactive chemical beds, in order to produce more reliable explosives. To improve understanding of the reaction evolution and bed mechanics the study group investigated the experiments of Goveas (1997), which involved the reaction of small beds of potassium picrate particles. The study group developed a mechanistic model and used simplifie...
