    An experimental study of boiling in calandria tubes : SRDC final report JCU021
    (SRDC, 2001) Schneider, P
    Raw sugar processing relies heavily on process equipment employing calandria-based heating systems to concentrate highly viscous sugar solutions, such as evaporators or vacuum pans. The design of these unit operations is based largely on experience and lacks a rigorous basis. Due to the high capital cost of these components, this situation is highly undesirable. The main aim of this project is to develop an experimental apparatus that can be used to measure viscous boiling phenomena in a single calandria tube, boiling molasses and massecuites. Data gathered will be an invaluable resource to assist with the development of models that can be used to assist with the design of full-scale equipment.
