Heat Transfer of Liquid/ Solid Fluidized Beds for Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids

The excellent performance of fluidized bed heat exchangers is due to the interaction between particles and heat transfer surface and to the mixing effects in the viscous sublayer. In this paper, the results of experimental investigations on heat transfer for a wide range of Newtonian and non-Newtonian (shear-thinning power law) fluids are presented. New design equations have been developed ...

Non-newtonian Fluids

High Shear Rate Viscometry

We investigate the use of two distinct and complementary approaches to measuring the viscometric properties of low viscosity complex fluids at high shear rates up to 80,000 s−1. Firstly we adapt commercial controlled-stress and controlled-rate rheometers to access elevated shear rates by using parallel plate fixtures with very small gap settings (down to 30 μm). The resulting apparent viscositi...

Non-Newtonian Fluids: An Introduction

The objective of this chapter is to introduce and to illustrate the frequent and wide occurrence of non-Newtonian fluid behaviour in a diverse range of applications, both in nature and in technology. Starting with the definition of a nonNewtonian fluid, different types of non-Newtonian characteristics are briefly described. Representative examples of materials (foams, suspensions, polymer solut...
