Computational results with pseudoplastic fluid flows for fully developed non-Newtonian laminar flows have been obtained. Those consist of the product of friction factor and Modified Reynolds number and Nusselt numbers with respect to the shear rate parameter in an annular pipe. The numerical results of the product of friction factor and Reynolds numbers and the Nusselt numbers for both Newtonian region and the power law region were compared with previously published asymptotic results, respectively. In the present calculations, the product of friction factor and Newtonian Reynolds numbers for pseudoplastic fluid at power law region in annular pipe is 180% less than that for Newtonian fluid. For power law fluids with different power law flow indices, the difference of the product of friction factor and power law Reynolds number between previous and the present results at the power law region is within 0.20%. The solutions also show the effect of the shear rate parameter on the Nusselt number and about 11% increase of Nusselt number at the power region.

The flow properties of sulfated polysaccharides purified from the ascidian Halocynthia roretzi tunic were investigated. The sulfated polysaccfarides produced aqueous solutions of low apparent viscosity with pseudoplastic flow behavior. The respective activation energies of TCA-treated and TCA-nontreated solutions were $2.2248{\times}10^4\;and\;1.442{\times}10^4J/kg{\cdot}mol$ at a 150L/s shear rate. The viscosity of the sulfated polysaccharides solution was increased by the addition of sugar, while it was not changed by the addition of NaCl.

In this paper, the peristaltic flow of Psedoplastic fluid with variable viscosity in an asymmetric channel is examined. The bionic effects by means of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) are taken into account. The assumptions of long wave length and low Reynolds number are taken into account. The basic equations governing the flow are first reduced to a set of ordinary differential equation by using appropriate transformation for variables and then solve by using perturbation method. The effect of physical parameters on the pressure rise, velocity and pressure gradient are illustrated graphically. The trapping phenomenon is analyzed through stream lines. A suitable comparison has also been made as a limiting case of the considered problem.

In order to obtain data for use of algin in drink making process solution properties of algin have been investigated at various condition of algin concentration temperature pH and various food additives. At same revolution velosity viscosities of algin were increased as algin concentration raised. Algin solution showed dilatnat type flow in concentration of 0.25% to 0.4% but pseudoplastic type flow in above 0.5% showed dilatant type flow in concentration of 0.25% to 0.4% but pseudoplastic type folw in above 0.5% A maximum viscosity of algin was observed at pH 5.5 and its viscosities were also decreased as the tem-perature increased and heating at 8$0^{\circ}C$ above. Organic acids affected on the viscosity of algin with pH dependently and gel formed in pH below 3.0 Sweetners have no effect to the viscosity of algin. How-ever addition of NaCl and KCL upto 1.0% decreased a little its viscosity and CACl2 MgCl2 and FeCl3 increased the viscosity of algin Glutamic acid decreased the viscosity of algin.

For the purpose of investigation of the food processing fittness of the sea mustard aqueous extracts, the steady shear flow have been measured over a wide range of shear rate using a Brookfield digital viscometer(SPDL21). The rheological behaviors of the sea mustard aqueous extracts which were extracted at 10$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours exhibited pseudoplastic behavior with yield stress. In the test of the relationship between temperature and apparent viscosity of samples at 10 rpm decreased along with the increment of temperature. The sea mustard aqueous extracts appeared greatly temperature dependent characteristics(Ea=1.51 ㎉/mole).

Numerical Calculations for dimensionless pressure drop (friction factor times Reynolds number) have been obtained for fully developed laminar flow of MPL(Modified Power Law) fluid in isosceles triangle pipes. The solutions are valid for Pseudoplastic fluids over a wide range from Newtonian behavior at low shear rates through transition region to power law behavior at higher shear rates. The analysis identified a dimensionless shear rate parameter which for a given set of operating conditions specifies where in the shear rate range a particular system is operating, i.e., Newtonian, transition or power law region. The numerical calculation data of the dimensionless pressure drop for the Newtonian and power law regions are compared with previously published asymptotic results presenting within 0.16 % in Newtonian region and 2.98 % in power law region.

As a link in the studies on the extracellular polysaccharide by lactic acid bacteria, the experiment was conducted to investigate the viscosity variations and rheological properties of 10% reconstituted skim milk and 12% reconstituted whole milk, respectively. 1. 10% reconstituted skim milk cultured by Str. thrennophilus 510 showed strong flow property of pseudoplastic fluid depending upon the production of exopolysaccharide. And the viscosity reached the highest value within 14% concentration. 2. 12% reconstituted whole milk cultured by lactic acid bacteria indicated flow property of pseudoplastic fluid. But there was a big difference in the viscosity as compared with 10% skim milk. 3. The maximum consistency index (k) and the minimum flow behavior index (n) of the fermented milk by Str. thermophilus 510 were 43 and 0.09, respectively. They were 35 and 0.09, in case of Lb. bulgaricus.

To elucidate the flow properties of carboxymethyl chitin (CM-chitin), the critical concentration and flow equation of aqueous CM-chitin solution were investigated. The concentration of $0.8\%$ appeared to be the critical concentration. So interaction occurred between polymer chains in the CM-chitin solutions had the higher concentration than $0.8\%$ but not in lower than $0.8\%.\;0.5\%$ CM-chitin solution was revealed as a newtonian flow but $1.0\%$ CM-chitin solution showed a pseudoplastic flow. Flow constants of $3.0\%$ CH-chitin solution were 0.0908cp for $\eta_\infty$, 770cp for $\eta_0$, 0.81 for $\beta$ and 0.36 for n. Therefore, flow equation of $3.0\%$ CM-chitin solution was as follow; $$\eta=0.1+\{{770/(1+0.81D^{0.36})\}$$.

Flow properties of doenjang samples at various total solid contents (30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40%) were evaluated in this study. Flow properties of doenjang samples was determined by using Haake concentric cylinderical viscometer and Instron testing machine with capillary extrusion viscometer, and consistency index(K), and flow behavior index(n) was also determined from power models, and yield stress was derived form Casson models and vanes methods. Doenjang samples showed shear-thinning (pseudoplastic) fluid with small magnitude of flow behavior index(n) (n=0.30-0.55). Casson yield stress was from 2.11 to 64.02(Pa). Vane yield stress was more effective than casson yield stress in property of reactivation. Apparent viscosity was decreased with the increase in temperature and activation energy was in the range of 6.58 to 10.70 kJ/mole. From the capillary extrusion method, K and n was increased with the increase in solid content with good correlation with. The result revealed that capillary extrusion method is useful for measuring the flow properties of doenjang.

The flow behavior of the mycelial broth of glucoamylase hyperproducer Asp. niger No. PFST-38 for the production of glucoamylase were studied. The mycelial broth followed Bingham-pseudoplastic flow model described by Herschel-Bulkley equation. The yield stress increased with the increase in mycelial concentration. The dependency of the consistency index and the flow behavior index on the mycelial concentration could be expressed by a linear relationship. The consistency index increased proportionally with the mycelial concentration while the flow behavior index decreased with the increase in mycelial concentration. The flow property of the broth was related to the morphological data obtain in the previous study. The changes in apparent viscosity of the broth could be expressed as a function of the hyphal thickness as shown below.
