Abstract

The pseudoplastic nature of kiwifruit juice is considered in this study under certain prescribed conditions. The flow and heat transport modeling of kiwifruit juice along the wall of a divergent channel with applied suction or injection is investigated with a suitably fitted non-Newtonian Power-Law fluid model. To simplify the equations governing fluid flow, heat transfer, and the necessary boundary conditions, similarity variables are utilized to obtain self-similar equations. The reduced form of underlying equations is evaluated by the finite difference method-based MATLAB solver 'bvp4c'. The velocity and temperature profiles are graphically depicted by examining different values of the pertinent parameters that characterize the flow. The influence of rheological flow parameters on velocity and temperature are analyzed from graphs, and conclusions are drawn from the processing application’s points of view.
