Development and optimization of the apparatus for thickening the NF-concentrate of curd whey

The paper presents a virtual simulation of hydrodynamic processes in a concentrator device for whey NF-concentrate in the SolidWorks Flow Simulation program. The analysis of the trajectories of air flows and product droplets in the unit during the concentration of curd whey NF-concentrate was performed. Calculations were carried out to determine the design, technological and operational parameters of the concentrator for processing 10 tons of curd whey per day.
