The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of selected biopolymers on the rheological properties of surimi. In our paper, we highlight the functional properties and rheological aspects of some starch mixtures used in surimi. However, the influence of some other ingredients, such as cryoprotectants, mannans, and hydroxylpropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), on the rheological properties o...

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...

A methodology is proposed for designing a mathematical model shock absorbers; the proposal guided by characteristic diagrams of absorbers. These (Force-Displacement, Velocity-Acceleration) are easily constructed from experimental data generated standard tests. By analyzing at different frequencies interest, they can be classified into one seven patterns, to guide design model. Finally, identifi...

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 ...

The effect of Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) with a molecular weight 10000g/mol on the rheological behavior bentonite suspension was examined in terms viscosity, yield stress and viscoelastic modulus (G’ G’’); characteristic complex behaviour montmorillonite water. A Physica MCR301 rheometer has been used to measure properties samples (6% bentonite) as well bentonite-PEO mixtures at different concent...

– 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...
