We apply a modified scaling of viscosity with residual entropy in a manner analogous to that proposed by Rosenfeld (1977). We consider the viscosity-entropy scaling for a reference fluid (refrigerant R124 (1-chloro-1,2,2,2tetrafluoroethane) ), and demonstrate that the viscosity for many other refrigerants scales with residual entropy in a similar manner. Finally, we use a corresponding-states f...

results the results showed that the maximum oil was incorporated in microemulsion system that contained surfactant to cosurfactant ratio of 4:1. the mean droplet size range of microemulsion formulation was in the range of 5.09 to 159 nm, and its refractory index (ri) and ph were 1.44 and 7, respectively. viscosity range was 57-226 cps. drug release profile showed that 48.18% of the drug release...

In the present work, an integrated optofluidic chip for fluid viscosity measurements in the range from 1 mPa·s to 100 mPa·s is proposed. The device allows the use of small sample volumes (<1 μL) and the measurement of viscosity as a function of temperature. Thanks to the precise control of the force exerted on dielectric spheres by optical beams, the viscosity of fluids is assessed by comparing...

The interactions of aflatoxin B(1) with certain histone fractions and DNA were investigated by means of viscosity measurements and equilibrium dialysis. Two main histone fractions (F2b and F1), both lysine-rich, were examined after treatment with the toxin. Fraction 2b and 1 differ in amino acid composition and behave differently, in regard to gross conformation, in the presence of electrolytes...

We study the initial value problem for dissipative 2D Quasi-geostrophic equations proving local existence, global results for small initial data in the super-critical case, decay of L-norms and asymptotic behavior of viscosity solution in the critical case. Our proofs are based on a maximum principle valid for more general flows.

We consider the Dirichlet problem for Hamilton-Jacobi equations and prove existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence on boundary data of Lipschitz continuous maximal viscosity solutions.

in this paper the influence of two different sizes of silica particles (micro-silica and nano-silica) was studied on mechanical properties of sulfur and sulfur composite. to improve the structural properties, sulfur was plasticized using dicyclopentadiene (dcpd) and methyl styrene (mst). plasticized sulfur composite was prepared by melt blending of plasticized sulfur and silica particles. the i...

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different thermal treatments (20-100°C at five levels for 20 min) on rheological properties of basil seed (Ocimum basilicum) and balangu seed (Lallemantia royleana) gums. Power law model well described the non-Newtonian pseudoplastic behaviour of the seeds gums. The apparent viscosity of balangu seed gum was dramatically aff...

We have developed a finite element model of convection in a spherical, axisymmetric shell that we use to simulate upwelling thermal plumes in the mantle. The finite element method provides the flexibility to include realistic properties such as temperature-dependent viscosity, the focus of this paper. We used this model to investigate the effect of temperature-dependent viscosity on the structu...
