Description

Ever since the need for bulk transportation of sugar, there have been problems with the product caking during storage and transportation. This project was carried out in order to try and understand the mechanisms behind caking, and by mathematically modelling the system, to find the conditions needed to avoid caking, and to compare these to the observations and experiences made by those working in the industry. A thermal analysis monitor was used to determine if significant quantities of amor...
