Abstract(s)

Food fluids are frequently processed in plate heat exchangers (PHEs) and usually behave as non-Newtonian fluids, this behavior being scarcely considered for PHEs design purposes (Rene et al., 1991). Moreover, many food fluids processed in PHEs have a high viscosity and therefore, data obained in laminar flow regime is useful to practical applications (Rene et al., 1991); Metwally and Manglik, 2002, Fernandes et al., 2005, 2006, 2007).
