Extensional flow of blood analog solutions in microfluidic devices.
In this study, we show the importance of extensional rheology, in addition to the shear rheology, in the choice of blood analog solutions intended to be used in vitro for mimicking the microcirculatory system. For this purpose, we compare the flow of a Newtonian fluid and two well-established viscoelastic blood analog polymer solutions through microfluidic channels containing both hyperbolic an...
متن کاملThe role of extensional rheology in polymer processing
The shear behavior of polymers obtained by means of devices such as capillary and cone-and-plate rheometers is commonly used to assess their processing performance and as a characterization tool. However, the number of instances when two polymers have the same shear properties but perform differently during certain types of processing operations (e.g. film blowing and sheet extrusion) indicate ...
متن کاملStretching Dynamics of Single Comb Polymers in Extensional Flow
Molecular architecture plays a key role in determining the physical properties and emergent functional properties of polymeric materials. Despite recent progress in the synthesis of structurally defined polymers, we still lack a complete understanding of how the emergent properties of topologically complex polymers arise from molecular-scale phenomena. In this work, we study the nonequilibrium ...
متن کاملGas Flow Metering Using the PSO Optimized Interval Type- 2 Fuzzy Neural Network
Orifice flow meter is one of the most common devices in industry which is used for measuring the gas flow. This system includes an orifice plate, temperature and pressure transmitters, and a flow computer. The flow computer is used for collecting information related to temperature, pressure, and their differences under various conditions. Also the flow computer can calculate the flow rate of ga...
متن کاملExtensional flow of hyaluronic acid solutions in an optimized microfluidic cross-slot device.
We utilize a recently developed microfluidic device, the Optimized Shape Cross-slot Extensional Rheometer (OSCER), to study the elongational flow behavior and rheological properties of hyaluronic acid (HA) solutions representative of the synovial fluid (SF) found in the knee joint. The OSCER geometry is a stagnation point device that imposes a planar extensional flow with a homogenous extension...
