Summary: | In our days, there is a priority to diversify the sources of energy, in order to prevent the negative effects of human activity on the environment. One of the interestings solutions is to use the animal waste from the food industry. Turning animal fat into combustible would allow substituting it to oil in systems like boilers. But for using animal fat as energy in these systems, we should characterize it before by studying its rheological properties and especially the viscosity, in order to design the systems as well as possible. The purpose of the following study is to establish the main rheological properties of the pork fat, which is one of the most important waste source of animal fat from the food industry. |
