Understanding Non-Newtonian Fluids and Transport Phenomena

This learning track covers the comprehensive study of non-Newtonian fluids and their transport phenomena. It begins with the exploration of the unique characteristics of non-Newtonian fluids and how they differ from Newtonian fluids. The track further categorizes non-Newtonian fluids into time-independent, time-dependent, and viscoelastic fluids, providing detailed explanations and examples for each. It also discusses various mathematical models that represent different fluid behaviors. The learning track then delves into the principles of capillary viscometers and their application in determining the nature of non-Newtonian fluids. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the concept of rheology, the study of the flow of matter, and its application to non-Newtonian fluids. The track also discusses the challenges of measuring the rheology of non-Newtonian fluids and the need for a rheology measuring system that allows for certain types of deformation. Furthermore, it delves into the transport phenomena of non-Newtonian fluids, focusing on capillary viscometers errors and corrections. The learning track concludes with a detailed explanation of how to correct for these errors, using an example of a 0.5 percent partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide in water solution.
