The effects of two anionic dispersants (polymeric-carboxy methyl cellulose: CMC and inorganic-sodium tripolyphosphate: STPP) on the rheological properties of coal water slurries (CWS) of varying solid loading were reported and compared. The rheological data was obtained in the shear rate range of 60-160 s<sup>-1</sup> and the data was fitted using power law model. For lower solid concentrations (10% and 20%), shear thickening behaviour was observed while shear thinning nature was seen for the higher solid loadings (30%,40% and 50%) for CWS with both the dispersants. For all slurries, an increase in flow behaviour index values was seen with the increase of dispersant loading. For CWS of 10% and 20% solid loadings, lower values of flow behaviour index was observed with CMC as dispersant. On the other hand, lower values for flow behaviour index was seen with STPP as dispersant for CWS of 30%, 40% and 50% solids loading. Although CMC was found very effective in reducing the apparent viscosity at lower dosages unlike STPP, the apparent viscosity values are quite sensitive to the loading of CMC as dispersant in comparison to STPP. This observed trend may be due to aggressively induced negative charges upon the adsorption of CMC on coal particles at the tested dispersant dosages.

This research study the rheological properties ( plastic viscosity, yield point and apparent viscosity) of non-Newtonian fluids under the addition of different chemical additives with different concentrations, such as (xanthan gum (xc-polymer) , carboxy methyl cellulose ( high and low viscosity ) ,polyacrylamide, polyvinyl alcohol, starch, quebracho, chrome lignosulfonate, and sodium chloride (NaCl). Fann viscometer model 800 with 8-speeds was used to measure the rheological properties of these samples, that have already been prepared. All samples were subjected to Bingham plastic model. It was concluded that the plastic viscosity, yield point and apparent viscosity should be increased with increasing the concentrations of (xanthan gum (xc-polymer) , carboxy methyl cellulose ( high and low viscosity ) ,polyacrylamide, polyvinyl alcohol, starch and sodium chloride (NaCl), while the opposite is true for quebracho, chrome lignosulfonate.

Fruit pulps contain fine particles of the flesh of the original fruit that are suspended in the fruit juice. This suspension has a tendency to settling or separation during measurements of its rheological properties in the rotational rheometer with coaxial cylinders (especially if the greater gap is used). In this case the use of a mixer is convenient. The mixer can serve as a tool for measurement of rheological properties and at the same time it can prevent the settling and it is not sensitive to the occurrence of greater particles in the measured fluid. The helical ribbon mixer was used in this work for measurement of five samples of fruit pulp. The mixer was calibrated by the use of Newtonian fluid of known viscosity (honey). The radius of the inner cylinder of hypothetical rotational rheometer was predicted from the assumption that mixer and cylinder exhibit the same torque necessary for the rotation at the same rotational speed. The average shear rate in the mixed pulp was predicted by using the relation valid for power law fluids and rheometer with coaxial cylinders. The radius (where the average shear rate was calculated) was chosen by the requirement that the shear rate would be almost independent of changes in the flow behaviour index valid for measured pulps. Firstly the flow behaviour index was predicted as a slope of torque vs. rotational speed dependence in log-log co-ordinates. It was found that the flow behaviour index varies in the range 0.2&ndash;0.3. The radius was predicted from a graph where shear rates for 0.2 and 0.3 are the same. Then the average shear rates were calculated from rotational speeds for individual flow behaviour indexes. Rheological properties measured by using a mixer correspond to those measured with a rotational rheometer with coaxial cylinders satisfactorily only in the case that the creeping flow regime was kept in the mixed fluid. The fruit pulps are strongly non-Newtonian fluids with very low values of the flow behaviour index around 0.2.

The effects of fat and non fat dry matter (NFDM) concentration and storage time on the physical properties and acidity of yoghurts made using commercial probiotic cultures (ABY and ABT-1) were investigated by using response surface methodology. All yoghurts made with ABY and ABT-1 cultures exhibited shear thinning behaviour. The power low model was used to describe the shear thinning behaviour of yoghurt samples. The flow behaviour index ( n) and the consistency coefficient ( m) were determined. NFDM levels in milk strongly affected syneresis, apparent viscosity at a constant speed of 100rpm, flow behaviour index and the consistency coefficient. Titratable acidity and pH were mainly affected by the storage time. Under all conditions examined, yoghurt made with ABT-1 culture had higher apparent viscosity, consistency coefficient and pH value than those of the yoghurt made using ABY culture.

Abstract With high polymer added into suspension, the use of abrasive slurry jet (ASJ) has significant advantages in energy management. The quality and efficiency of ASJ are affected distinctly by its structure and the flow field feature, both of which depend on the rheological properties of the abrasive slurry. Therefore, this paper carries out a series of experiments to study the rheological properties of abrasive slurry with polyacrylamide (PAM) and carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) commonly used in ASJ. The paper also explores the effect of temperature and abrasive on the apparent viscosity of the abrasive slurry. Experimental results show that PAM and CMC solutions behave as a pseudoplastic non-Newtonian fluid in the selected concentration range, whose apparent viscosity increases with the concentration. In addition, specific non-Newtonian fluid constitutive equations of the power-law model for PAM and CMC solution were obtained by nonlinear fitting calculation. The apparent viscosity decreases with the growth of temperature because it leads to the increase in spacing between molecules, making the attraction between molecules smaller and smaller. However, the abrasive has no influence on the apparent viscosity of abrasive slurry for these molecular bonds, and their mechanical entanglements are not destroyed by abrasive particles in the suspension.

Sifat reologi bahan suapan acuan suntikan logam MIM yang disediakan dengan keluli tahan karat 316L pengabusan gas dan, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polietelena glikol (PEG) dan asid sterik sebagai bahan pengikat telah dikaji. Dai kapilari L/D = 10 telah digunakan dalam kajian ini. Serbuk keluli tahan karat kasar dan halus telah diadunkan dengan bahan pengikat pada beban serbuk 64% dan 65% isipadu. Kesemua bahan suapan mempamerkan tingkahlaku pseudo plastik memandangkan indek tingkahlaku alirannya kurang daripada 1, tetapi indek tersebut berkadar songsang terhadap beban serbuk. Seterusnya, indek tingkahlaku bagi serbuk kasar didapati lebih besar berbanding serbuk halus. Bahan suapan 16_64 lebih peka berbanding bahan suapan yang lain, dan bahan suapan 31_65 pula didapati kurang peka terhadap suhu dan tekanan. Bagaimanapun, kepekaan juga didapati berkadar songsang terhadap beban serbuk. Maka, indek kebolehacuan bagi 31_64 adalah yang terbaik, dan hasil kajian mendapati bahawa beban serbuk 64% isipadu menghasilkan kebolehacuan bahan suapan yang lebih baik. Akhirnya, kajian ini menyimpulkan bahawa kesemua bahan suapan sesuai untuk disuntik ke dalam acuan kerana sifat reologinya menunjukkan penipisan ricih apabila tegasan ricih dikenakan terhadapnya. Bagaimanapun, bahan suapan pada beban serbuk 64% isipadu adalah yang lebih sesuai disebabkan oleh indek kebolehacuan yang lebih tinggi daripada 65% isipadu.

Capillary rheometer with die of L/D = 10 was used in the investigation. Coarse and fine stainless steel powders were mixed with binders at powder loading of 64% and 65% volume. All feedstocks exhibit pseudo plastics behaviour as the flow behaviour indexes were less than one, but it is inversely proportional to the powder loading. Moreover, the flow behaviour index of the coarse powder is larger than the fine powder particles. Feedstock 16_64 exhibits higher sensitivity among other feedstocks while 31_65 was least sensitive to the temperature and pressure. However, the sensitivity was also inversely proportional to the powder loading. Thus, moldability index of the 31_64 is the best and result shows that powder loading 64% volume gives better moldability to the feedstocks. Finally, the investigation concluded that the feedstocks are suitable to be injection molded because the rheological properties demonstrate a shear thinning when subjected to shear stress. However, feedstock with the powder loading of 64% volume is the most suitable as the moldability index is higher than the 65% volume feedstocks. Key words: Metal injection molding, rheology, flow behaviour index, activation energy, moldability index

In order to produce a defect-free component, the feedstock composition plays as a critical factor. The feedstock needs to meet the following criteria; high solid loading with excellent flowability. The flowability of the feedstock is greatly determined by the rheological response. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate the rheological behaviour of MIM feedstock comprising of WC-Co powder, with a binder system of Palm Stearin (PS) and Polyethylene (PE), by means of a capillary rheometry. The viscosity and shear rate of various feedstocks at powder loading ranging from 59, 61 and 63% were measured at L/D = 10 die. The rheological properties such as flow behaviour index, activation energy and moldability parameter of each feedstock were calculated and from the analysis, it was concluded that they show a good pseudo-plastic behaviour within acceptable ranges in MIM.

In this study, Iraqi bentonite taken from Trefawi area/ Al-Anbar region province/ Iraq, was activated to enhance its rheological and filtration properties and increase its quality by decreasing the non-clay minerals (impurities), in order to be used in Iraqi oil companies instead of commercial bentonite. Bentonite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and particle size distribution (PSD) before and after activation to show the effects on its mineral and chemical properties. The rheological properties of bentonite were enhanced by using different weights (0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 and 0.8 gm) of sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃), whereas the filtration properties were enhanced by using different weights (0.5, 1, 1.5 gm) of high viscous-carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC-HV) and different weights (0.5, 1, 2 gm) of low viscous-carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC-LV). The results showed that the rheological properties of Iraqi bentonite were enhanced and met the specifications of the American Petroleum Institute (API) when 0.7 gm of Na₂CO₃ was added. The filtration properties were also enhanced and satisfied API specification when 0.5 gm of CMC-HV and 2 gm of CMC-LV were added. Therefore, Iraqi bentonite has the potential to be used as drilling fluid in oil fields.

Influence of sewage ratio or Fat Oil Grease (FOG) on the feedstock rheological characteristic for optimal binder formulation in metal injection moulding is evaluated besides Polypropylene (PP) as a backbone binder. Powder loading of 62% of water atomised SS316L being used here to determine the possibility of the best binder formulation which could be optimised for optimal powder loading base on rheological characteristic analysis. Two binder formulations of PP to SF being selected here are 60/40, 50/50 and 40/60 accordingly with the powder loading of 62% each binder formulation. The analysis will be base on viscosity, shear rate, temperature, activation energy, flow behaviour index and moldability index. It is found that from rheological result views, binder with composition of 60/40 and 50/50 exhibit pseudoplastic behaviour or shear thinning where the viscosity decrease with increasing shear rate. For 40/60 binder ratio is not suitable since the behaviour of the flow indicates dilatants behaviour. After considering all the criteria in terms of flow behaviour index, activation energy, viscosity and mouldability index, binder with ratio of 60/40 is evolve as a good selections.

Purpose With respect to two new subjects, i.e. nanofluids and microchannels, in heat transfer systems and modern techniques used for building them, this paper aims to study on effect of using aluminum oxide nanoparticles in non-Newtonian fluid of aqueous solution of carboxy-methyl cellulose in microtube and through application of different slip coefficients to achieve various qualities on surface of microtube. Design/methodology/approach Simultaneously, the effect of presence of nanoparticles and phenomenon of slip and temperature jump has been explored in non-Newtonian nanofluid in this essay. The assumption of homogeneity of nanofluid and fixed temperature of wall in microtube has been used in modeling processes. Findings The results have been presented as diagrams of velocity, temperature and Nusselt Number and the investigations have indicated that addition of nanoparticles to the base fluid and increase in microtube slip coefficient might improve rate of heat transfer in microtube. Originality/value The flow of non-Newtonian nanofluid of aqueous solution of carboxy methyl cellulose-aluminum oxide has been determined in a microtube for the first time.
