Continuous rheometry for industrial slurries

Fully-continuous Supercritical Fluid Extraction of Naphthalene from Soil Slurries

The research objective was to build a fully-continuous lab-scale supercritical fluid extraction process to remove naphthalene from soil slurries. Both the carbon dioxide and the soil slurry were pumped into an extraction vessel simultaneously and continuously for the duration of an experimental run. Delhi Loamy Sand spiked with approximately 10 000 ppm (wt) of naphthalene and water comprised th...

Rheometry for Blood Coagulation Studies

This review considers some of the various rheometrical approaches that have been adopted to study blood coagulation, with special reference to the rheological assessment of clotting time and studies of the evolution of viscoelasticity during the course of fibrin polymerization and cross-linking. A common feature of many of these studies is that they attempt to detect a liquid-to-solid transitio...

Microfluidic rheometry

The development and growth of microfluidics has stimulated interest in the behaviour of complex liquids in microscale geometries and provided a rich platform for rheometric investigations of non-Newtonian phenomena at small scales. Microfluidic techniques present the rheologist with new opportunities for material property measurement and this review discusses the use of microfluidic devices to ...
