3.5. dans le modèle de Magde et al. (95), il n'y a pas de "mush chamber" : les variatons de densité résultent uniquement de la structure de température et sont donc plus "étalées". Si, comme le font Madsen et al., on impose une "mush chamber", on peut espèrer voir les variations de structure de cette chambre (cristallisée à 13deg.N, mush liquide à 9deg.N).

Mush = mash= puree= bouillie = pâte = mucilage


Explanation:
One example would be the pudding. You can talk about "les proprietes mucilagineuses du stearate de sodium".

Definition of mush according to Merriam-Webster. 1 : a thick porridge made with cornmeal boiled in water or milk
2 : something soft and spongy or shapeless

cohésion


Explanation:
il s'agit à mon avis d'améliorer la cohésion du savon, pour éviter qu'il ne devienne une sorte de bouillie à l'usage.
Le stéarate de sodium agit comme agent liant, structurant, évitant la désagrégation rapide du savon
