We study the bulk viscosity of strange quark matter(SQM) in density dependent quark mass model(DDQM) under the background of selfconsistent thermodynamics. The correct formulae, with which the viscosity can be evaluated, are derived. We also find that the viscosity in DDQM can be higher by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude than MIT bag model. We calculate the damping time scales due to viscosity coupl...

— We introduce small viscosity solutions of hyperbolic systems with discontinuous coefficients accross the fixed noncharacteristic hypersurface {xd = 0}. Under a geometric stability assumption, our first result is obtained, in the multi-D framework, for piecewise smooth coefficients. For our second result, the considered operator is ∂t+a(x)∂x, with sign(xa(x)) > 0 (expansive case not included i...

We study the following “inverse first passage time” problem. Given a diffusion process Xt and a probability distribution q on [0,∞), does there exist a boundary b(t) such that q(t) = P[τ ≤ t], where τ is the first hitting time of Xt to the time dependent level b(t). A free boundary problem for a parabolic partial differential operator is associated with the inverse first passage time problem. W...

In this article the behavior of tetrahydrofuran (THF) + 2-alkanol namely 2-propanol, 2-butanol, 2-pentanol, 2-hexanol and 2-heptanol binary mixtures through the density and viscosity measurements have been studied as a function of composition and within the temperature range of 293.15–313.15 K. The excess molar volume, isobaric thermal expansivity, partial molar volumes, and viscosity deviation...

A comprehensive model has been developed for calculating the viscosity of aqueous or mixed-solvent electrolyte systems ranging from dilute solutions to fused salts. The model incorporates a mixing rule for calculating the viscosity of solvent mixtures and a method for predicting the effect of finite electrolyte concentrations. The mixing rule represents the viscosity of multi-component solvent ...

The current work focuses on applying an artificial viscosity approach to the Spectral Difference (SD) method to enable high-order computation of compressible fluid flows with discontinuities. The study uses an artificial viscosity approach similar to the high-wavenumber biased artificial viscosity approach introduced by Cook and Cabot, and modified by Kawai and Lele. The model employs a bulk vi...

In current theories of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the idea prevails that molecular sieving relies on different accessibility of volume fractions and of cross-sectional area fractions (denoted "pores") to different-sized ions due to the effect of "geometric exclusion". This correlates with the assumption that all elements of a polyacrylamide network occupy fixed and unchangeable positio...

Analysis of intrinsic irreversibility and heat transfer in a buoyancy-driven changeable viscosity liquid along an incline heated wall with convective cooling taking into consideration the heated isothermal and isoflux wall is investigated. By Newton’s law of cooling, we assumed the free surface exchange heat with environment and fluid viscosity is exponentially dependent on temperature. Appropr...

A viscosity model, based on Eyring’s absolute rate theory combined with a cubic PR equation of state and Wong-Sandler mixing rule, has been proposed in order to correlate viscosities of aqueous solutions of alkanolamine mixtures at atmospheric pressure and different temperatures. In the proposed method, the energy and size parameters in studied Equation of State (EoS) have been obtained usi...

Preformed Particle Gels (PPGs) treatment is one of the most promising solutions to improve conformance control in mature water flooded oil reservoirs. It is very important to be able to evaluate and predict performance of PPGs in porous media. In this paper, we will first introduce new class of enhanced PPGs designed for harsh reservoir conditions (high salinity and temperature) and then pr...
