ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF SKIM MILK

 

Application of electric technologies to increase the efficiency of process and equipment involves studying the electrical properties of biological objects and their changes over time.

To this end, experiments were performed to study the electrical resistance of the skim milk using effective interventions –electric impulse effects”. In the sample (skim milk poured within a circle with d = 20 mm on a dielectric spacer) placed two electrodes is 15 mm, distance between which amounted to 15 mm. Using these sample electrodes was connected to a generator of signals and measured the force of current flowing in the circuit. Knowing output voltage of the generator and amperage in a circuit, the resistance of the object found by law station chain to the Ohm (resistance connecting wires and signal generator neglected).

Sample with electrodes placed on the scales and the ratio between the length of the impulse to its period Q = 3, voltage U = 40 V measured the amperage (I) impulses at a frequency of f = 100, 200, 300, 400 Hertz. The results are presented in table 1-5.
