A novel computational fluid dynamics-population balance model (CFD-PBM) for the simulation of gas mixing in activated sludge (i.e., an opaque non-Newtonian liquid) in a bubble column is developed and described to solve the problem of measuring the hydrodynamic behavior of opaque non-Newtonian liquid-gas two-phase flow. We study the effects of the inlet position and liquid-phase properties (wate...

In this study authors solve the fundamental set of equations of the hydrodynamic theory of lubrication, namely are: the continuity equation, conservation of momentum and conservation of energy for the case of stationary slide bearings lubrication with a thixotropic lubricant. Adoption of assumption of steady flow loads in the considered phenomenon to the changes absence of the flow parameters i...

The 13C enrichment observed in the first order photolytic decomposition of dibenzylketone (1,3-diphenyl2-propanone) was studied as a function of solvent viscosity and temperature. The isotope effect is due to electron-nuclear hyperfine interactions in the free radical intermediates of the reaction. The results are explained using a continuum diffusion model and a simplified version of the radic...

The " local-equilibrium " hypothesis that assumes a local balance between the viscous dissipation and the subgrid-scale dissipation at the same physical location in turbulent flow has been commonly used for turbulence modeling. For example, based on the local equilibrium hypothesis, Germano et al. (1991) and Moin et al. (1991) developed dynamic procedures for determining the model coefficients ...

A combination of electrical conductivity, dynamic viscosity, dynamic light scattering and small angle X-ray scattering methods was used to study the properties of the water + propylene glycol/mixed nonionic surfactants/ peppermint oil + ethanol U-type microemulsions which can be diluted with any amount of water. The surfactants were sucrose laurate and ethoxylated mono-di-glyceride. The mixing ...

The present theoretical analysis is to investigate the effect of nonNewtonian Pseudoplastic & Dilatant lubricants (lubricant blended with viscosity index improver)–Rabinowitsch fluid model on the dynamic stiffness and damping characteristics of pivoted curved slider bearings. The modified Reynolds equation has been obtained for steady and damping states of the bearing. To analyze the steady sta...
