[1] Large lakes can both produce and record significant crustal deformation. We present an analysis of the isostatic rebound pattern recorded in the shorelines of paleolake Lahontan, in western Nevada, using a layered Maxwell viscoelastic model. The inferred viscosity structure depends on loading history. We use three variants of a well-documented lake surface elevation model as input and recov...

This paper addresses the relative viscosity of concentrated suspensions loaded with unimodal hard particles. So far, exact equations have only been put forward in the dilute limit, e.g., by Einstein [A. Einstein, Ann. Phys. 19, 289 (1906) (in German); Ann. Phys. 34, 591 (1911) (in German)] for spheres. For larger concentrations, a number of phenomenological models for the relative viscosity was...

Viscosity is an important property to known in energy engineering. Most lubricants are named after a ranking system that is directly related to how viscous that sample is. In addition to this, liquid fuels that are too viscous cannot achieve proper combustion in engines. In this report, a sample of baby oil was tested using Saybolt Universal viscometry to illustrate how increases in temperature...
