Continuous Recycling in the Homogenization of Relatively Small Samples

Eastern Utilization Research and Development Division, USDA, Washington, D. C.

ABSTRACT

The mathematical relationships governing continuous recycling in the homogenization of small samples have been derived and compared with experimentally determined relationships. Distribution curves have been obtained showing the fraction of milk at any time t which has undergone p homogenizations. An empirical equation has been derived, showing the relationship in intermittent recycling between the degree of homogenization as measured by turbidity, and the number of homogenizations. Combining the equations defining the distribution curve with the empirical equation permits the calculation of the degree of homogenization at any time t of a sample undergoing continuous recycling in homogenization.
