Capillary wetting of heterogeneous powders
Kammerhofer, Jana Christina
The objective of this PhD thesis is the enhancement of understanding and prediction of capillary wetting of heterogeneous, soluble food powders. Therefore, the capillary penetration is studied experimentally by increasing stepwise the complexity. Firstly, the heterogeneity in terms of contact angle and the effect of solubility during capillary wetting as the two main influencing factors are investigated separately and in a second step both fac...
