Various cellulose-ionic liquid solutions were measured with a rotational plate-andplate rheometer and a Capillary Break-up Extensional Rheometer (CaBER). Comparison of the shear and extensional rheological properties showed good agreement in some cases. The CaBER, however, seems to be more sensitive to small variations in solute composition. INTRODUCTION Since almost a decade now, nonderivatizi...

BACKGROUND AND METHODS It is important to ensure that blood flow is modelled accurately in numerical studies of arteries featuring drug-eluting stents due to the significant proportion of drug transport from the stent into the arterial wall which is flow-mediated. Modelling blood is complicated, however, by variations in blood rheological behaviour between individuals, blood's complex near-wall...

In this research article, the rheological behavior of ZnO-TiO2/5W30 hybrid nanolubricant is evaluated experimentally to study suitability using it as an effective engine lubricant. According results, (0.1 wt%) produced shows less viscosity than base oil at selected range’s lower temperature. It will also assist in reducing cold-start phase issues automotive engine. An artificial neural network ...

Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) has become one of the most promising construction techniques and repairing materials in recent times for industry. Generally, plain a very low tensile strength limited resistance to cracking prior ultimate load, which can be mitigated by incorporation fiber. Natural fibers have emerged as an appealing sustainable option last few decades due their lower cost, ener...

In the dataset presented in this article, 36 sludge samples were characterized. Rheological parameters were determined and near infrared spectroscopy measurements were realized. In order to assess the potential of near infrared spectroscopy to predict rheological parameters of sludge, Partial Least Square algorithm was used to build calibration models.

in the absence of dysphagia-oriented food products, rheological characterization of available food items is of importance for safe swallowing and adequate nutrient intake of dysphagic patients. in this way, introducing alternative items (with similar ease of swallow) is helpful to improve quality of life and nutritional intake of esophageal cancer dysphagia patients. the present study aimed at ...

We study the stationary and transient behaviors of a microemulsion phase subjected to a shear flow. The system is described by a diffusion-convective equation that generalizes the usual Cahn-Hilliard equation. Nonlinear terms are treated in a self-consistent approximation. Shear, first and second normal stresses are calculated as momenta of the structure factor. Shear thinning is observed in st...
