Abstract
The rheological properties of cottonseed meal were investigated using a capillary rheometry. The experimental results showed that the cottonseed meal was a typical pseudoplastic fluid in the normal processing ranges, and the apparent viscosity decreased with increasing shear rate, decreased with increasing temperature and decreased with increasing meal moisture. A model based on these results to predict the apparent viscosity of cottonseed meal was also presented.
