In this paper are presented the influences of the adhesion forces occurring in hyperbolic micro contact on the oil velocity and friction forces in hyper bolic micro bearing gap. Here are elaborated the dependences between adhesive forces and oil dynamic viscosity in super t hin boundary layer and in fluences of adhesive forces on the oil velocities and friction forces in microand nano-scale ari...

[1] We apply adjoint models of mantle convection to North America since the Late Cretaceous. The present-day mantle structure is constrained by seismic tomography and the time-dependent evolution by plate motions and stratigraphic data (paleoshorelines, borehole tectonic subsidence, and sediment isopachs). We infer values of average upper and lower mantle viscosities, provide a synthesis of Nor...

Modeling turbulent convection in the melt is the most di cult part of the simulation of the transport processes in the growth of large-diameter silicon crystals by the Czochralski (CZ) process. We report the application of hybrid nite-element/ nitevolume methods for the integrated modeling of turbulence in the melt and heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation throughout the CZ syst...

The dynamic viscosity (η) of the glass-forming 50:50 mixture of cis-1,4/trans-1,3dimethylcyclohexane (ct-DMCH) was measured from 293 K down to ≈ 126 K where η ∼ 1.2×106 mPa s. The viscosity measurements of several other commonly used solvents cover the range from 293 K down to ≈ 148 K (η∼ 1.4×104 mPa s) for 1-propanol (1-Prop), to ≈ 118 K (η∼ 2.5×102 mPa s) for 2-methylpentane (2-MP), to ≈ 167 ...

High viscosity is a major challenge with protein therapeutics at extremely high concentrations. To overcome this obstacle, it is essential to understand the relationship between the concentration of a protein solution and its viscosity as a function of shear rate and temperature. Here, lysozyme is a model charged globular protein having both short-ranged attraction (SA) and long-ranged repulsio...

The paper shows the successive steps of approximation of Picard unification for the solution of the non-isothermal fluid flow in thin layer including inertia forces and apparent viscosities described by the non-linear dependences. In this paper is presented a unified semi analytical method of solution of the asymmetrical, laminar, steady and unsteady, non-Newtonian lubrication problem flow betw...

The effect of continuous steady shear stress (CSSS) on rennet-induced coagulation of milk was studied by measuring the change in viscosity of the system with time. Continuous shear stress (< or =0.5 Pa) applied during coagulation did not counteract the network formation at standard cheese-making conditions. In fact, CSSS of 0.2 Pa promoted coagulation by possibly increasing diffusion, collision...

Knowledge of the viscosity of rare earth halides is important for the electrolytic production and separation of the rare earth elements [1 – 3]. However, essential difference is observed between the viscosity values of the same molten rare earth salts obtained experimentally by various researchers. As a rule, the viscosity of their halides was measured with reliable experimental methods checked...

Studies of DNA molecule behavior in aqueous solutions performed through different approaches allow assessment of the solute-solvent interactions and examination of the strong influence of conformation on its physicochemical properties, in the presence of different ionic species and ionic concentrations. Firstly, the conformational behavior of calf-thymus DNA molecules in TE buffer solution is p...

We report the characterization of a suspended microchannel resonator (SMR) for viscosity measurements in a low viscosity regime (<10 mPa s) using two measurement schemes. First, the quality factor (Q-factor) of the SMR was characterized with glycerol-water mixtures. The measured Q-factor at 20 °C exhibits a bilinear behavior with the sensitivity of 1281 (mPa s)(-1) for a lower (1-4 mPa s) and 3...
