Characterization of rheological behavior of alkali-surfactant-polymer (ASP) solution and oil emulsion is difficult, due to the complex chemical components and various physiochemical reactions with oil during chemical flooding. Through rheological experiments of ASP and crude oil emulsion, this paper presents the studies on influencing factors of rheological behavior, including interfacial tensi...

A simple rheological model has been used to describe foam flow through moving textile assemblies. The validity of this model was tested, and the nature and the relative magnitude of deviations from the model evaluated for several different substrates. Neglecting foam degeneration during transport, the model was found to represent a valuable means of evaluating some rheological and geometrical d...

In this paper, the lord magnetic field of MRF and its circuit design are mainly expounded, according to the loading ways of magnetic field and the magnetic circuit design plans of magneto-rheological fluid devices at present, the general form and characteristics are summarized. In addition, a kind of magneto-rheological fluid dynamometer is proposed in this paper, in terms of its magnetic circu...

The continued development and increasing demand of the fast-growing market for meat alternatives will provide sufficient possibilities food scientists entrepreneurs to develop new technologies. texture-related sensory qualities analogues are focus product applied research. In this study, freezing process was used control fibrous structure (i.e., anisotropic layered porous structure) rheological...

Multiple interacting mechanisms control the formation and dissolution of clots to maintain blood in a state of delicate balance. In addition to a myriad of biochemical reactions, rheological factors also play a crucial role in modulating the response of blood to external stimuli. To date, a comprehensive model for clot formation and dissolution, that takes into account the biochemical, medical ...

Structure-property relationships of alkali-activated aluminosilicate gels are studied using rheology, neutron scattering, solid-state NMR, and TEM to develop a pseudo-ternary state diagram. Empirical gel states classified by the rheological behavior (sol-gel transition scaling storage modulus with aluminum concentration). The boundaries compared materials from literature including denser binder...

– We use a lattice Boltzmann (LB) kinetic scheme for modelling amphiphilic fluids that correctly predicts rheological effects in flow. No macroscopic parameters are included in the model. Instead, three-dimensional hydrodynamic and rheological effects are emergent from the underlying particulate conservation laws and interactions. We report evidence of shear thinning and viscoelastic flow for a...

Concentrated aqueous cornstarch (CS) suspensions are often used to demonstrate an extreme example of shear thickening rheological behaviour. Here, we describe the increased rheological complexity that occurs on the addition of poly(propylene glycol) 10 (PPG) to an aqueous CS suspension. The appearance of shear thickening/jamming, shear thinning, yield stress and near-Newtonian behaviours is dep...

Janus-faced viscoelastic gelling agents—possessing both elastic and viscous characteristics—provide materials with unique features including strengthening ability under stress a liquid-like character lower viscosities relaxed conditions. The mentioned multifunctional is manifested in several body fluids such as human tears, synovial liquids, skin tissues mucins, endowing the special physical re...

in this study, the possibility of including probiotic starter cultures for making yoghurt was investigated. set yoghurts were made using three bio-cultures, all containing bifido-bacterium spp.. the effects of these starter cultures and total solids (i.e. addition of 0, 1 and 2% skim milk powder) on the rheological and sensory characteristics of the bio-yoghurts were compared with a standard st...
