Modeling of Solid/Liquid Expression for Cellular Materials
A general theory is developed for the mechanical expression of agrofood, cellular materials. The so-called, Liquid-containing biporous particles expression model considers liquid transfer within a network of three different volumes : extraparticle, extracellular and intracellular volumes. The system of partial differential equations is solved for the expression under constant pressure, allowing calculation of the total layer settlement, as well as the deformation of extraparticle, extracellular and intracellular volumes. The model is able to predict the behavior of four different steps in the consolidation stage. the primary deformation and the creep deformation of extraparticle volume, and the deformation and deliquoring of both extracellular and intracellular volumes. The model is applied to the hydraulic pressing of rapeseeds. The theoretical model agrees well with experimental data for the overall range of pressing time.
