Effects such as time dependency, recovery, and viscoelasticity were studied. A model was developed to determine the apparent viscosity of CMC solutions as a function of shear rate, temperature, and concentration. The model can be used in process design from both a fluid mechanics standpoint and a heat transfer standpoint. It was found that the solutions behaved as pseudoplastic fluids that were irreversibly thixotropic and also viscoelastic.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF FOOD PROCESS ENGINEERING}, author={Vais, AE and Palazoglu, TK and Sandeep, KP and Daubert, CR}, year={2002}, month={Apr}, pages={41–61} }
