Background of the study

Viscosity is an internal property of a fluid that offers resistance to flow. In food industry, foods come in variety of physical forms, from the simple Newtonian liquids, such that «««. There is a problem on the use of ««« and because of this , the researchers were inspired to development a new way of «« in order to solve «« The development of this new ««. was brought about by several reasons such as the following : ««««««. The researchers hoped to achieve ««.. with the application of the various engineering concepts and its application«.. It is but imperative to «« ( NOTE : Discuss here rationale , reasons why you chose to undertake this study and overview of your project study.

REVIEW OF RELATED STUDIES A ND LITER ATURE Related Literature V iscosity

The word viscosity according to Ramirez ( 2009 ) is a standard ««. Torsional shearing stress According

to Ramirez and Felizco ( 2009 ) , torsional shearing stress can be

determined by ««.. Cooling fans Cooling fans provide the energy to move air or gas which may become heat exchanger. These system may be an integral part of the motor to cool down ( Ramirez et.al., 2009 ). Related Studies Foreign Studies Mc Gregor, B.S.
